This study guide provides an in-depth look at the classification of rocks based on texture, mineral composition, and formation. Geologists use various characteristics such as texture, mineral composition, hardness, color, and grain size to identify and classify different types of rocks. The guide covers igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, including their definitions, textures, and examples. It also explains the processes involved in the formation of each type of rock and provides true or false questions to test understanding.
