How do geologists classify metamorphic rock?
Geologists classify metamorphic rocks by the arrangements of the grains that make up the rocks.
Do geologists classify metamorphic rocks by the arrangement of grains making up the rock?
Yes.
How do geologists classify rock samples from the Eath's crust?
By their provenance, appearance, texture and mineralogy.

What do geologists base the classification of rock on?
Geologists classify rocks based on their mineral composition, texture, and formation process. These characteristics help geologists understand the origin and history of the rocks, as well as their physical and chemical properties.
How do geologists classify igneous rock?
Geologists classify igneous rocks based on their mineral composition, texture (grain size and arrangement of crystals), and overall chemical composition. Igneous rocks are further categorized as intrusive (formed below the Earth's surface) or extrusive (formed on the Earth's surface) based on where they solidified.
How does a geologist know that rock layers are undisturbed.?
When a rock is disturbed, it usually contains one of the following abnormalities:SlantingBendingFoldingCrackingMetamorphismor Nonconformities.If a rock layer contains none of these, then geologists classify it as undisturbed.
How do geologist classify a rock?
Geologists classify rocks by looking at their chemical and mineralogical composition then at the the size and shape of their component minerals then at any texture, pattern or grain that the rocks may display. They also classify them in relation to how they were formed.
Who studied rock?
Geologists study the rocks that compose the earth or other terrestrial planets. Mineralogists classify and name types of lava. Stone cutters study granite , which is an igneous rock.
How composition and texture are used to classify rock?
mineral composition is the minerals that the rocks are made of texture refers to the grain size (sediments or interlocking crystals) of the different components of that rock
How do geologists classify a mass movement?
Geologists classify mass movements based on the type of material involved (rock, soil, or a mix), the speed and behavior of the movement (slump, slide, flow), and the triggering mechanism (rainfall, earthquake, human activity). This classification helps them better understand the characteristics and potential hazards of different mass movements.
