Geologists classify crystal structures based on the arrangement of atoms within the crystal lattice, the symmetry of the crystal, and the types of bonds between atoms. Common crystal structures include cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic, and triclinic structures.
Minerals are classified by their geometry into six different mineral crystal systems. Each crystal system has its own set of parameters based on relationships between length and angles between a crystals axes.
sedimentary,metormorphic , igneous .........
The eight characteristics used to classify minerals are color, streak, luster, cleavage, fracture, hardness, specific gravity, and crystal form. These properties help geologists identify and differentiate between different types of minerals based on their physical and chemical characteristics.
Geologists use a variety of characteristics to classify minerals, including color, luster, hardness, density, cleavage, fracture, and crystal form. These properties help geologists identify and categorize minerals based on their chemical composition and physical traits.
I did a degree in geology, many years ago now, the complexities of this are enormous, and you could probably spend a lifetime investigating. If you are interested then it is worth exploring, some minerals look wonderful in thin section down a microscope where you can see some of the planes they will fracture on amongst many other things. But it seems i have forgotten more than i can remember right now!

Geologists classify metamorphic rocks by the arrangements of the grains that make up the rocks.

Geologists classify it as active, although the last eruption was in 1708.
Geologists use the geologic column to classify layers of rocks and fossils that make up the Earth's crust.
they are neither physical nor chemical changes
Geologists use the geologic column to classify layers of rocks and fossils that make up the Earth's crust.
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.
Yes.
tell me the answer I'm the one asked it
By their provenance, appearance, texture and mineralogy.
