The size of the mineral crystals which comprise the rock.
The size of grains in a rock is generally how its texture is determined. Some descriptions of a rock's texture are course, porous, and fine-grained.
They are looking at a freshly broken rock surface to determine if there are any patterns (folds, layering) in addition to the size of the rock's individual grains or crystals.

Rocks are to geologists as stars are to astronomers.

rocks
Geologists classify rocks by where they are formed; above ground or under ground
Igneous rock is magma (or lava) that has cooled, hardened, and solidified. It is recognized by it's generally smooth texture, high mass (basically a rock a certain size will weigh more than you'd expect just by looking at it), and wavy form-remember, it is solidified magma.

The size shape and pattern of the rocks grains
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.
they learn how long that rocs been there ,what encoutered it and how old it is
Geologists can learn how a rock formed by studying its features. Two features that are especially helpful for classifying rocks are composition and texture.
they see how it is formed and how it can benefit the rest of the earth's rocks have a good day
geologists can study a rock sample by observing its composition, color, and texture. they also look at the rocks structure, hardness and weight.
Rocks are to geologists as stars are to astronomers.
Geologists don't use rocks, they study them.
Geologists classify rocks into three groups. The first group are igneous rocks, the second are metamorphic rocks and the third are sedimentary rocks.
Geologists study rocks.
Geologists are people who study rocks and minerals.
