English term or phrase: individual (rocks)
The Earth’s crust is made of rocks, although much of it is covered by water or soil. Individual rocks are classified according to how they are formed. Igneous rocks come from molten magma from below the Earth’s crust, which reaches the surface through volcanic eruptions. This cools and solidifies into very hard rock, often with tightly interlocking crystals. Metamorphic rock is formed deep underground, as high temperatures and pressure from the weight of the layers above changes the properties of existing rock types. Sedimentary rock is formed when layers of sediment from erosion and weathering collect in rivers and seabeds, where they are compressed over time. Fossils are formed when dead organisms are tapped within these layers.

Explanation:
Foi preciso remover os parentheses porque "Para traduzir, apenas o tema genérico não é suficiente". É preciso pelo menos a oração completa, ou melhor, o parágrafo, dado que palavras, ou combinações de palavras podem ter significado diferente em diferentes situações" é um qualificativo de "rocks". Em outras palavras, o termo deve ser "Para traduzir, apenas o tema genérico não é suficiente. É preciso pelo menos a oração completa, ou melhor, o parágrafo, dado que palavras, ou combinações de palavras podem ter significado diferente em diferentes situações"
