The correct answer is - a) by their texture.

Rocks are being mainly classified by their composition and their texture. Their texture represents the structure of the rocks. The three types of rocks igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic have different texture classifications. Their textures depend on the place of their formation, the temperature, the pressure etc.

- Igneous rocks according to their texture are divided into:

* Intrusive rocks

* Extrusive rocks

- Metamorphic rocks are divided into:

* Quartizite

* Schist

* Gneiss

* Slate

* Phyllite

- The sedimentary rocks are divided into:

* Clastic

* Chemical

* Biochemical

How are landforms near the edge of continents different from landforms in the continental interior? How are these landforms rela
djyliett [7]

The landforms in the interior of the continents and at their margins mostly differ because of the difference in geological activity.

Explanation:

The landforms that are found in the interior of the continents tend to be old. They also are mostly consisted of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. In general the erosion is much more evident and dominant, thus the landforms also are with lower elevations when compared with the ones on the edges. This is due to the lack of geological activity as the interiors of the continents tend to be far away from the plate boundaries.

The landforms on the edges of the continents tend to be younger in general. The reason for that are the subduction zones and intense geological activity. The intense geological activity is due to the close proximity of the plate boundaries. The landforms tend to be higher in general, and volcanic arcs are also a common sight.
