Difference Between Rocks and Stones

When hearing rock, we know that it is big and when hearing stone, we know it to be small. Both rocks and stones consist of the same material. Rocks are made of smaller stones and stones are made from rocks.

Rocks can be described as a large piece of stone that is difficult to be carried in the hand. On the other hand, stone is just a small piece or pebble that can be carried in the hand. The rocks are heavier than stones.

The stones can be pelted easily but one cannot do so with rocks. The rocks are normally immovable and it needs much effort. On the other hand, stones are movable and only less effort is needed.

Rocks are hard materials that are found on the earth’s crust. The rocks can be found above the ground as well as below the ground. Stones are non-metallic minerals. A stone is formed from rocks after it has been trimmed or dressed or polished into tiny pieces.
