It helps rocks change and grow.
It shows how bits fit in rocks.
It helps us learn about Earth.

More About compatibility (geochemistry)
Long ago, people looked at rocks. They wanted to know how they formed. They found that some bits fit well in rocks. This was called compatibility.
Today, this helps us learn more about Earth. We can find new rocks and minerals. This helps us use them in our lives.
In the future, we may find more cool rocks. We can learn how they change. This can help us understand our planet better.
