Question
how are igneous rocks classified?
by color
by the degree of foliation
by texture and composition
by cooling rate
Brief Explanations
Igneous rocks are primarily classified based on their texture (such as coarse - grained, fine - grained) and composition (mineral content). Color is not a primary classification factor. Foliation is related to metamorphic rocks, not igneous rocks. Cooling rate affects texture but is part of texture - based classification. Overall, texture and composition are key.
