What is the rock of Gibraltar?
445332
The Rock of Gibraltar, sometimes called the Pillar of Hercules is located in Gibraltar, off the southwestern tip of Europe on the Iberian Peninsula. It is 426 meters (1,396 feet) high\nThe Rock of Gibraltar is a monolithic Jurassic limestone promontory. The geological formation was created when the African tectonic plate collided tightly with Europe about 55 million years ago. The Mediterranean became a lake that, in the course of time, dried up. About five million years ago the Atlantic Ocean broke through the Strait of Gibraltar, and the resultant flooding created the Mediterranean Sea. This spectacular rock monolith covers a land area of about six square kilometres and overlooks the African coast

"I Am A Rock" by Simon and Garfunkel.  I think this fits what you're asking.  The link is to the lyrics of the song.  Hope this helps!

No it is not. Oceanic crust is composed primarily of basalt. Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock that cools quickly. Other types of rock commonly found on or beneath the unconsolidated sediments on the ocean floor are sedimentary rocks like sandstone, limestone, and shale. \n\nGranite is found in continental land masses. (Granite is NOT a metamorphic rock.) It is an intrusive igneous rock that must cool very slowly to form granite. \n\nHere is a good explanation with some illustrations:\nhttp://www.athro.com/earth_science/rocks.html

The rocks of the Giant's Causeway crystalized from molten rock or melted rock called magma.  This process makes igneous rocks. As the magma and rock cools, it loses heat and water, and as a result shrinks.   The shrinkage causes the polygon pattern which makes the Giant's Causeway famous, see photos at this web site: http://www.webvider.com/wwm/images/gb_u162.jpg\n\nGeologists call this pattern, when seen in igneous rocks, columnar joints.  Joints are the cracks which form during cooling.   Columnar joints are often seen in volcanic and shallow formed igneous rock such here in Northern Ireland, Iceland, and in North America,........all over the world where igneous rocks are found.

On April 30, 711, the armies of Tariq landed at Gibraltar (the name Gibraltar is derived from the Arabic name Jabal al-Tariq, which means mountain of Tariq). Upon landing, Tariq is said to have burned his ships then made the following speech, well-known in the Muslim world, to his soldiers:\n\n    أيّها الناس، أين المفر؟ البحر من ورائكم، والعدوّ أمامكم، وليس لكم والله إلا الصدق والصبر...\n    O People ! There is nowhere to run away! The sea is behind you, and the enemy in front of you: There is nothing for you, by God, except only sincerity and patience. (as recounted by al-Maqqari).\n\nThe Moorish armies swept through Hispania and, in the summer of 711, won a decisive victory when the Visigoth king, Roderic, was defeated and killed on July 19th at the Battle of Guadalete. Afterwards, Tariq was made governor of Hispania but eventually was called back to Damascus by the Umayyad Caliph Walid I because he did not authorize the Muslim invasion of Spain.

In Geology Fractures in bedrock are structure of a specific region of the earth's crust. A crack or fault in a rock.The solid rock that underlies loose material, such as soil, sand, clay, or gravel. The very basis; the foundation. The lowest point.In Geology a fracture in the continuity of a rock formation caused by a shifting or dislodging of the earth's crust, in which adjacent surfaces are differentially displaced parallel to the plane of fracture. Also called shift.  There are many fault lines across the United States

Minerals are the building blocks of rocks.  For example, feldspar and quartz are minerals, but they can combine (along with other minerals) to make the rock granite.

Rocks tell the story of the Earth. The Earth is made of rock, from the tallest mountains to the floor of the deepest ocean. Thousands of different types of rocks and minerals have been found on Earth. Most rocks at the Earth's surface are formed from only eight elements (oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and sodium), but these elements are combined in a number of ways to make rocks that are very different.\nRocks are continually changing. Wind and water wear them down and carry bits of rock away; the tiny particles accumulate in a lake or ocean and harden into rock again. The oldest rock that has ever been found is more than 3.9 billion years old. The Earth itself is at least 4.5 billion years old, but rocks from the beginning of Earth's history have changed so much from their original form that they have become new kinds of rock. By studying how rocks form and change, scientists have built a solid understanding of the Earth we live on and its long history.
