Elijah was neither a Major Prophet nor a Minor Prophet. The Major Prophets are Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. The Minor Prophets are Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. Each of these prophets has a book in The Bible named for him. (The minor prophetic books also include Daniel, Baruch, and Lamentations. The Book of Daniel contains prophesy, but Daniel did not occupy a public prophetic office. Baruch served as an assistant to the prophet Jeremiah. Lamentations laments the loss of Jerusalem to Nebuchadnezzar.)
Elijah, however, served prominently as prophet of God Most High. Although Elijah the prophet left no written records, the great and almost unparalleled miracles and other occurrences involving him did not go unrecorded but appear prominently in 1 Kings 17--21 and 2 Kings 1--3. Elijah also occurs by name or by reference throughout later books of the Old Testament and several times prominently in the Gospels.

Are Nehemiah Amos and Habakkuk all minor prophets?
A minor prophet.Additional Comment:Perfectly correct answer.My point is that God calls people to be a Prophet and doesn't classify them as major or minor. They are 'recruited' to do God's will at that particular time with that particular message.This is man's classification and it is based upon the lenght of the material in the book which 'minor' is usually much shorter than 'major.' :)
How can a prophet be determined if major or minor?
Major Prophets have more chapters in the books of inspired, canonical sacred Scripture that bear their respective names. Each Minor Prophet has fewer chapters in his book that any Major Prophet has.

(Daniel, Baruch, and Lamentations fit in neither category.)

I believe you mean a major prophet. Whether a prophet is "major" or "minor" has to deal with the amount of writing they produced. Major prophets (like Isaiah or Jeremiah) wrote a lot, whereas minor prophets (like Baruch and others) wrote very little. It has nothing to do with how much work or how much good the prophet did.
