Igneous rocks are classified based upon their composition and what?

Igneous rocks are classified based on their composition and texture. Composition is determined by the minerals present, while texture refers to the size of the mineral grains in the rock. These classifications help geologists understand the conditions under which the rock formed.


What is the six classifications determined by precipitation and temperature?

The six classifications determined by precipitation and temperature are tropical, dry, mild, continental, polar, and mountain. These classifications are defined based on the characteristics of the climate in a particular region, such as average temperature and amount of precipitation.


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


What is the density of AB3 rock?

The density of a rock labeled as AB3 can vary depending on the specific composition of the rock. Generally, rock densities fall within the range of 2 to 3 g/cm^3. However, without more specific information about the composition of the AB3 rock, an exact density cannot be determined.


Can a rock be classified as sedimentary igneous or metamorphic by its method of formation?

Yes, a rock can be classified as sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic based on its method of formation. Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and cementation of sediments, igneous rocks form from the solidification of magma or lava, and metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks due to heat and pressure.
