The composition of a rock is decided by the % of the constituent minerals and components contained inside it. The minerals that form up rocks have outlined chemical compositions and rigid atomic structures. once daylight strikes the rock's surface, the composition and atomic structure of the various minerals

What is the chemical or mineral content of a rock based on?
The chemical composition must be determined by analytical methods.
What characteristics determines the chemical composition of an igneous rock?
An igneous rock is any crystalline or glassy rock that forms from cooling of a magma. Color and texture help determine the chemical composition of the rock.
What kind of rock forms when hot liquid rock or magma cools?
Extrusive igneous rocks. The type of extrusive igneous rock is determined by the composition of the lava.
The chemical composition of a star can best be determined by?
Analyzing its a light with spectroscopy
What does the term composition mean as it applies to igneous rock?
it can mean two things, (1)mineralogical composition or (2)Chemical composition
What is composition in a rock is determined by?
The type of plant that grew near a river. Apex.
What is sediment composition in clastic rock determined by?
The type of plant that grew near a river. Apex.
What is the chemical or mineral content of a rock based on?
The chemical composition must be determined by analytical methods.
What equipment is used to calculate 2 types of isotopes found in rock?
Isotopic composition is determined by mass spectrometry.
What the difference between texture and composition?
BASCILY texture is feel of something an Composition is what does it take to make up something.Texture is based on the sizes, shapes and position of the rocks grains. The Composition of a rock is determined by the minerals that make up the rock. Composition and texture are two characteristics that scientists use to classify rocks.

What factors can effect the texture of a igneous rock?
The texture is determined by the rate it takes the molten to cool to form the rock.
What property of a mineral is determined by its chemical composition?
The color of a mineral sample is determined by its chemical composition
What affects the texture of a rock?
the texture of a sedimentary rock is mainly affected by the sediment that formed it
The mineral composition of the oceanic crust is similar to the composition of what rock?
It is most similar to the composition of the rock basalt.
How is the composition of a planet determined?
spectra
What provides info about the chemical composition of stars?
The composition is determined by spectral analysis.
