مزيد من المعلوماتA road surface or pavement is the durable surface material laid down on an area intended to sustain vehicular or foot traffic such as a road or walkwayIn the past gravel road surfaces cobblestone and granite setts were extensively used but these surfaces have mostly been replaced by asphalt or concrete laid on a compacted base courseAsphalt mixtures have been used in pavement A mineral is a naturally occurring inorganic element or compound having an orderly internal structure and characteristic chemical composition crystal form and physical properti Common minerals include quartz feldspar mica amphibole olivine and calciteA rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals or a body of undifferentiated mineral matter
