W Rocks, Deformation and Relative Age Dating Geologists categorize rocks into three separate classes, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic, based on a. how the rocks were formed. b. the spatial and textural arrangement of the rock's minerals. c. whether the rocks are organic or inorganic. d. what temperature the molten material hardened at. e. what minerals are contained in the rock types.

Explanation / Answer

1. Answer is Option E, K

In th contour map it is clear that the lowest value 1000 contour surrounds K and highest value comes as we go away from K.

2. Answer is Option C, X

Steepness in the contour increases when the distance between succesive contour lines decreases. Here at X there is smallest distance between contours than all other points and hence steepest place is at X

3. Answer is Option A, How the rocks were formed

The rocks have been classified according to its origin i.e., how it is formed into igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
