- Color
- Texture
- Strength
- Shells
Correct Answer(s)

A. Color
A. Texture
A. Strength

Explanation

Rocks can be identified based on their color, texture, and strength. Color refers to the hue or shade of the rock, which can vary from one type of rock to another. Texture refers to the physical appearance or feel of the rock's surface, which can be smooth, rough, grainy, or layered. Strength refers to the rock's ability to withstand pressure or force, which can vary depending on the composition and structure of the rock. Shells, on the other hand, are not a reliable indicator for identifying rocks as they are typically associated with fossils or sedimentary rocks rather than all types of rocks.
