Things like electronics, clothing, food, and plastic are not made with rocks. Rocks are typically used in construction materials, sculptures, and landscaping.
Examples of items made from rocks or minerals include buildings made from granite or marble, jewelry made from gemstones like diamonds or emeralds, electronics containing components such as silicon or copper, and kitchenware made from materials like quartz or salt.
Rocks made from living things are called organic rocks. These rocks form when the remains of plants or animals are compacted and cemented together over time. Examples include limestone, coal, and chalk.
Sediments in sedimentary rocks may be made of fragments of other rocks, minerals, and organic material like remains of plants and animals. These sediments are typically transported and deposited by processes such as erosion, weathering, and deposition.
Not all rocks are made of minerals. Rocks can be composed of minerals or can be made up of organic materials like shells, fossils, or volcanic glass. Some rocks, like coal or obsidian, do not contain minerals but are still considered rocks.
Metamorphic rock is made of other rocks that have undergone physical or chemical changes due to high heat and pressure. Examples include marble (from limestone), quartzite (from sandstone), and schist (from shale).
