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

Although photovoltaic solar farms appear to be a free resource with few negative impacts, there are environmental problems relat
denpristay [2]

Hello. You did not present the answer options, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

To produce electricity for a city in a developed country, photovoltaic solar farms would need to occupy a large amount of land, as the demand for electricity in developed cities is very high and this would require a high production of solar energy. The occupation of such a large piece of land could hinder the sustainability of the region and of this energy production system. This is because the occupation of large areas of land could promote the destruction of habitats, deforestation and water and soil pollution due to the hazardous materials that are used to build solar panels, such as lead, gallium arsenide, diselenide from copper-indium-gallium, among others. This would cause the production of a non-polluting type of energy, causing pollution due to its installation.
