Petrology is the study of rocks from which perspective?
Petrology is the branch of geology that studies rocks and the conditions under which they form.
Petrology utilizes the fields of mineralogy, petrography, optical mineralogy, and chemical analysis to describe the composition and texture of rocks. Petrologists also include the principles of geochemistry and geophysics through the study of geochemical trends and cycles and the use of thermodynamic data and experiments in order to better understand the origins of rocks.

Petrology is the branch of geology concerned with the compositions, structures, and origins of rocks. Petrologic research involves both field studies and laboratory studies. It is a hybrid science that involves aspects of chemistry, mineralogy, physics, geological mapping, and sometimes biology
