Although hand specimen identification is some what of an art; igneous rocks are classified using two critiria:
•Texture
•Chemical and mineral composition
Most of the time the rock name, such as basalt or granite, reflects the chemical composition. The minerals and textures are used as adjectives that modify the rock name. You might see a name like an olivine basalt or a quartz porphyry rhyolite.

Do you believe that the universe is expanding?​
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Many scientists believe that the universe is expanding at an increasing rate. Scientists cannot explain how the universe is expanding at an increasing rate because by law of conservation of energy, there is only a finite amount of energy. Thus, scientists have called this new source of energy dark matter and it is all around the universe helping shape and form the universe.
