What a property is and how you use them to classify rocks?
In classifying rocks, there are many properties that can be useful. In my opinion, either color or texture is most useful in classifying a rock or mineral.
Which property most useful for identify igneous rocks?
The most useful property for identifying igneous rocks is their mineral composition, particularly the presence and proportions of key minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica. Additionally, texture, which includes grain size and the relationship between crystals, can provide significant insights; for instance, a coarse-grained texture indicates slow cooling, typical of intrusive igneous rocks, while a fine-grained texture suggests rapid cooling, characteristic of extrusive igneous rocks. These features combined help distinguish different types of igneous rocks effectively.
How are rocks idenified?
rocks are idenified by texture
What is the texture of igneous rock?
Phaneritic is the texture of igneous rocks. These types of rocks crystallized slowly.
How rocks layer useful in determining the age of the earth?
they are useful by showing where the fossil is buried then on that certain layer, it will be studied to know the age.
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that?
Usually have a rougher texture
When igneous rocks solidify what kind of texture do they have?
Crystalline texture.
What is the relationship between an igneous rocks texture and where it formed?
The relationship between an igneous rock's texture and where it was formed is that the texture depends on whether or not the rock is an extrusive rock or an intrusive rock. Those two different types of classifications for rocks tell you what the texture will be. For example, Intrusive rocks have a coarse-grained texture like granite and extrusive rocks have a fine-grained texture like basalt.
What is the texture of inorganic land derived sedimentary rocks?
what is the texture of all inorganic land derived sedimentary rocks
What are rocks that have a glassy texture called?
Obsidian
What is the relationship between igneou rocks texture and where it's formed?

For example, Intrusive rocks have a coarse-grained texture like granite and extrusive rocks have a fine-grained texture like basalt.
What are some non examples of texture in rocks?
Texture in rocks is not the same as color or shape. Texture refers to the size, shape, and arrangement of mineral grains or crystals within a rock, while color refers to the outward appearance of the rock. Similarly, shape in rocks refers to their physical form or structure, and not the internal arrangement of mineral grains which defines texture.
