Rock - Social Change, Cultural Evolution, Music Revolution | Britannica Rock - Social Change, Cultural Evolution, Music Revolution: How, then, should rock’s contribution to music history be judged? One way to answer this is to trace rock’s influences on other musics Another is to attempt a kind of cultural audit (What is the ratio of rock masterworks to rock dross?) But such approaches come up against the problem of definition
Rock | Definition, Characteristics, Formation, Cycle, Classification . . . rock, in geology, naturally occurring and coherent aggregate of one or more minerals Such aggregates constitute the basic unit of which the solid Earth is composed and typically form recognizable and mappable volumes Rocks are commonly divided into three major classes according to the processes that resulted in their formation These classes are (1) igneous rocks, which have solidified from

How Are Fossils Formed? | Paleontology Geology | Britannica Fossils are most often formed from organisms that have a solid and resistant skeleton Hard parts, such as bones and teeth, are more likely to survive the ravages of time compared to their softer counterparts, which tend to decompose rapidly When an organism with such hard parts dies and is quickly buried, this sets the stage for the long, slow process of fossilization
