How are rocks related to minerals What is the difference in how rocks and minerals are classified?
A rock is an agglomeration of different minerals. Minerals are classified into categories based on their chemistry: oxides, sulphides, silicates, carbonates etc. Rocks are classified primarily by the process that formed them: igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic.
How do you classify rocks?
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.
What are metamorphic rocks classified as?
Foliated or non-foliated.
How do you classify igneous rocks?
Look at them. There shape, size, color and feel! Dont worry you will figure it out....

Are sedimentary rocks classified tofoliated sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks are not classified as foliated. Foliation is a textural feature found in certain types of metamorphic rocks where minerals are aligned in layers or bands due to pressure and heat. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the accumulation and cementation of sediments and do not exhibit foliation.
Are sedimentary rocks classified by foliated and nonfoliated?
No, sedimentary rocks are classified based on their grain size, composition, and texture, not by whether they are foliated or nonfoliated. Foliation is a feature typically found in metamorphic rocks, not sedimentary rocks.
What is orange calcite classified as?
Orange Calcite is found in Igneous and Metamorphic rocks.
How are rocks physically classified?
they are classified into 3 major kinds of rocksthey are the ;IGNEOUS ROCKS,SEDIMENTARY ROCKS,AND METAMORPHIC ROCKS
How can sedimentary rocks can be classified?
sedimentary rocks can be classified by detrial, chemical ,or organic
What is metamorphic rocks are classified according to?
They are classified by their composition.
How are igneous rocks classified acording to their..?
Igneous rocks are classified by either being intrusive or extrusive, then mafic or felsic then they are classified by either fine grain or course grained textures.
What kind of rocks can you find gold in?
Gold is usually found in metamorphic rock but can also be found in sedimentary rock. In deep mines, quartz rock is found in association with gold.
How are intrusive classified?
Intrusive features are typically classified as plutonic rocks, especially inside of a volcano. Comparatively, extrusive features are also classified as volcanic rocks.
How are rocks classified put in groups?
Rocks are classified into three main groups based on how they are formed: igneous rocks (formed from the cooling of molten rock), sedimentary rocks (formed from the accumulation and cementation of sediment particles), and metamorphic rocks (formed from the alteration of existing rocks under high heat and pressure). Each group has various subcategories based on specific characteristics and composition.
Rocks that originated from the liquid phase are classified as?
Igneous rocks are classified as rocks that originated from the liquid phase, specifically from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
How are igneous metamorphic and sedimentary rocks classified?
Igneous rocks are classified based on mineral composition and texture, metamorphic rocks are classified by texture and mineral composition, and sedimentary rocks are primarily classified by their grain size and composition. These classifications help scientists understand the origin and characteristics of each type of rock.
