Rocks are identified by a number of things. Clues lie in its color, mineral composition, size and orientation of grains or crystals, hardness, stratification, layering, banding, density, vesicularity, reaction to acids, fracture, and chemical composition.
A website that has a rock identification flowchart is available below.
By their appearance or reaction to chemicals. Rock showing visible crystals, such as granite are usually igneous. Rocks displaying evident layering, fossils, or reaction to a weak acid like vinegar are usually sedimentary. Rocks displaying foliation or banding of individual mineral constituents, or having a wavy or platy appearance may be metamorphic. This is not true in all cases, however, as some rock types may mimic the appearance of others in some respect. See the link below for a rock identification flow chart and further identifying characteristics.
to identify a mineral,scientist test some of its physical properties.some of these properties are color,luster,hardness,streak,and cleavage.
You can identify a rock by its characteristics hope this helps.
Detrital, Chemical, and Organic.
not sure
yes, different types of rock probably do make different types of glass

The types of erosion by gravity are: slump and creep Types of deposition by gravity: rock falls, rock slide, mud flow
Igneous an Metamorphic are the two types of rock that are formed with the help of heat .
Extrusive igneous rock structures: Lava flow or plateau, Volcano (many types), Crater, Caldera, Fissure.
Discontinuity surfaces (bedding planes and various types of unconformities), significant changes in mineralogy or grain size or changes in the types of fossils present in the rock may all help identify differing rock layers.
Different Types of risks and the techniques employed to identify them?
not sure
This will depend on the compressive strength of the rock types.
for texture and color
if i want to buy a computer how i can identify its peripherals.
identify the given
Some of the most important rock types in geology are Igneous Rock & Metamorphic Rock.
The 3 types of rock are igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.
The types of atoms in a pumice rock are igneous
Rock-Type moves are weak against Fighting-Types, Ground-Types, and Steel-Types. Rock-Type Pokémon are weak against Water-Types, Grass-Types, Fighting-Types, Ground-Types, and Steel-Types.
