BATUAN
Adalah merupakan semua bahan penyusun kerak bumi,
dan merupakan suatu kumpulan / agregat mineral-
mineral yang telah mengeras
KLASIFIKASI (berdasarkan tekstur dan cara
terbentuknya), ada 3 yaitu :
a. Batuan beku : batuan yang berasal dari hasil pembekuan
magma, teksturnya hablur / kristalin
b. Batuan sedimen : batuan yang terbentuk dari hasil proses
pengendapan, baik organik ataupun hasil pengendapan bahan
rombakan serta kimiawi, teksturnya klastik / nonklastik
c. Batuan metamorf : batuan ubahan oleh proses metamorfisme,
dimana perubahannya tanpa melalui fase cair terlebih dahulu,
tekstur hablur / kristalin
TEKSTUR adalah hubungan yang erat antara bentuk, ukuran butir
dari mineral-mineral sebagai bagian dari batuan.
