Rocks differ from each other because of their mineral composition and their formation method. They are just that way. Igneous are usually light and might have small crystals and holes. Sedimentary have layers and often have fossils. Metamorphic can have layers or crystals.

Scientists who study the physical properties of rocks to tell how the rocks may have formed are called?

These scientists are called petrologists. They examine the mineral composition, texture, and structure of rocks to understand their formation processes, such as magmatic, sedimentary, or metamorphic origins. By analyzing these physical properties, petrologists can unravel the geological history of rocks.
