geology

The study of geology encompasses the analysis and classification of rocks and minerals, which differ fundamentally in composition. Rocks are aggregates of minerals, whereas minerals possess distinct chemical formulas and crystal structures, aiding in their identification through attributes such as color, luster, hardness, and cleavage.
