• There are 3 types of rocks, Igneous rocks are formed from melting and combining together, Metamorphic rocks are formed from rocks reforming, and fusing together through heat, pressure, and time. Sedimentary rocks are formed from rocks that have been compressed, and cemented together with pressure and time.
• Soil is composed of organic matters such as minerals, gases, and liquids that support life such as plants and soil organisms like worms.
• Coal is a black, combustible mineral resulting from the decompostion, pressure, and heat turning vegetation, and plants into coal.
• Fossil fuels are organic substances that can be used as a source of energy, examples of these are coal, petroleum, and more that could be found underground.
• Mineral resources such as metals, alloys, chromite, and more minerals are plentiful due to the Philippine's volcanic nature.
