Question

valerie creates a model using three different rocks. the rocks are classified as igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary. which property does valerie use for classification purposes? color formation shape texture

Explanation:

Rocks are classified as igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary based on how they are formed. Igneous rocks form from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava, sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compaction of sediments, and metamorphic rocks form from pre - existing rocks that undergo changes due to heat, pressure, and chemical processes. Color, shape, and texture are not the basis for this broad - scale rock classification.

Answer:

B. formation
