What else can I help you with?
What is metamorphic rocks are classified according to?
They are classified by their composition.
How igneous rock classified?
Geologists classify rocks by where they are formed; above ground or under ground
How are igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks classified?
Igneous rocks are classified based on mineral composition and texture, metamorphic rocks are classified by texture and mineral composition, and sedimentary rocks are primarily classified by their grain size and composition. These classifications help scientists understand the origin and characteristics of each type of rock.
How are igneous rocks classified acording to their..?
Igneous rocks are classified by either being intrusive or extrusive, then mafic or felsic then they are classified by either fine grain or course grained textures.
Groups of rocks are classified by?
i think is chemical composition its not chemical composition, it's how they were formed
The groups of rocks are classified by?

Are metamorphic rocks classified according to their shape?
No, metamorphic rocks are not classified according to their shape. Instead, they are classified based on their mineral composition and texture, which reflects the conditions under which they formed. Common classifications include foliate, which has a layered or banded appearance, and non-foliate, which does not exhibit layering. The classification primarily focuses on the processes of metamorphism and the resulting characteristics of the rocks.
What are Igneous rocks that formed Earth's surface called?
Granite. Plutonic igenous rock/ plutons. Intrusive igenous rock.
What are two examples of rocks?
sedimentary rock and igenous rock.
Are rocks classified according to their composition and color?
Rocks are classified based on their composition, which includes their mineral content and texture. Color can sometimes provide clues about the minerals present in a rock, but it is not the sole factor used for classification. Other properties such as hardness, visible crystals, and how the rock formed are also important in determining its classification.
How do igenous rocks form?
They form when magma or lava cools and solidifies.
Are sedimentary rocks classified by foliated and nonfoliated?
No, sedimentary rocks are classified based on their grain size, composition, and texture, not by whether they are foliated or nonfoliated. Foliation is a feature typically found in metamorphic rocks, not sedimentary rocks.
