What are the names of three class of rocks?
The three major rock types that make up the Earth are, Sedimentary, Igneous, and Metamorphic.
What are the names for volcanic rock?
well it could be igneous rock if you are talking about specific types (there are a lot) , but its called tephra and/or pyroclastic rock that is thrown from the volcano... the smallest of tephra is ash, then lapilli then bombs, then blocks.
The absolute age of a rock is the approximate number of years ago that the rock formed. The absolute age of an igneous rock can best be determined by?
It is best determined by radiometric dating techniques which measure the decay of radioactive elements.
How do rocks get a sandpaper texture?
The texture of a rock is determined by the rate it takes the molten to cool to form the rock.
What is an igneous rocks color mainly determined by?
The color of an igneous rock is mainly determined by the minerals present in the rock. Different minerals exhibit different colors, such as feldspar being pink or white, while olivine is green. Additionally, the texture and size of mineral grains can also affect the overall color of the rock.
What equipment is used to calculate 2 types of isotopes found in rock?
Isotopic composition is determined by mass spectrometry.
Which property of the rock can be directly determined when the rock is placed in overflow container?
The density of the rock can be directly determined when the rock is placed in an overflow container. By measuring the amount of water displaced by the rock, its volume can be calculated, and then by dividing the mass of the rock by its volume, the density can be determined.
What Sediment composition in a clastic rock is determined by all of the following EXCEPT?
The sediment composition in a clastic rock is determined by factors such as the rock's source material, transportation process, and depositional environment. It is not determined by the age of the rock formation.
What is igneous rock color mainly determined by?
An igneous rock's color is mainly determined by its silica content.

The magnetic orientation of a rock is determined when the rock solidfies?
True
Why do some rock types fold and other rock types fault or break?
This will depend on the compressive strength of the rock types.
What is the true age of a rock or fossil?
The method used will be determined by the rock type, but the age of a rock will be determined by a determination of the amount of decay of a radioactive isotope, either contained in the rock, or in a geologic layer of rock coinciding with a fossil.
