What is the chemical property used to classify igneous rocks?
The chemical property used to classify igneous rocks is their mineral composition, specifically the type and relative abundance of minerals present in the rock. This information helps geologists differentiate between different types of igneous rocks, such as basalt, granite, and rhyolite.

What are the three main categories into which geologists classify rocks?
The three main categories into which geologists classify rocks are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and lithification of sediments. Metamorphic rocks are created from the alteration of pre-existing rocks due to high temperature and pressure.
