3.3: The Rock Cycle
Rocks are collections of minerals of various sizes and types. The three main rock types are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Crystallization, erosion and sedimentation, and metamorphism transform one rock type into another or change sediments into rock. The rock cycle describes the transformations of one type of rock to another.

What Is a Mineral? Definition and Examples
The two major types of minerals are silicates and non-silicates. ... Inosilicates: Single silicate chains share two corners, while double chains share two or three corners. The pyroxenes and amphiboles are inosilicates. Phyllosilicates: A sheet structure forms with three shared oxygen atoms. Mica is an example of a phyllosilicate mineral.
