En geología, una roca es cualquier masa sólida o agregado de minerales o materia mineraloide que ocurre de forma natural. Se categoriza por los minerales incluidos, su composición química y la manera en que se forma. Las rocas forman la capa sólida exterior de Earth, la corteza, y la mayor parte de su interior, excepto el núcleo externo líquido y los bolsillos de magma en la astenosfera. El estudio de las rocas involucra múltiples subdisciplinas de la geología, incluyendo la petrología y la mineralogía. Puede limitarse a las rocas encontradas en Earth, o puede incluir la geología planetaria que estudia las rocas de otros objetos celestes.
