Week 11-12 : Uses of Igneous and Sedimentary Rock as Construction Materials
Rocks normally consist of several minerals, some essential, some accessory. A rock may be thought of as a "mineral environment." Each rock type was formed under certain specific conditions, resulting in the formation of a fairly predictable group of minerals. Rocks fall into three classes according to their origin: Igneous - Sedimentary - Metamorphic
