I understand that it’s made up of minerals but what is in the minerals?
I just can’t put my finger on it, what is that igneous stuff made of, and are the metamorphic rocks made of the same thing??
In: Earth Science
The exact minerals in a rock depend entirely on what type of rock. For example, calcite and dolomite are the main ingredients of limestone.
Soil meanwhile is just plant/animal matter that has broken down. Like you can start a compost heap in your backyard, and literally make new soil. Just throw your vegetable scraps in it, water it occasionally, and use a shovel to basically “stir it up” from time to time.
