The rock is a naturally concurring solid aggregate with a certain structure of texture. Some rocks consists of only a single mineral, but most are composed of several different minerals; a few may be composed of volcanic glass, organic remains, etc.
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere trap infrared radiation from the Earth, keeping it warm, this is known as the greenhouse effect. GHG emissions from human activities provided the majority contribution towards global warming of 1.1 °C.
Erosion refers to the geological process in which external forces such as running water, wind, glaciers and ocean waves break down surface bedrock and transport the resulting clastic sediments to other locations.
Minerals are naturally occurring elements or compounds and the basic constituents of rocks. Some minerals are composed of a single chemical element
Igneous rocks are those that started as a hot, molten liquid called magma. The term “igneous” comes from a Greek word that means “from fire”. Magma from deep underground rises along fractures toward the Earth's surface.
Weathering refers to the whole process whereby hard rocks and minerals undergo physical and chemical changes through contact with the atmosphere, water, and living organisms at or near the Earth's surface, forming loose deposits in situ.
