Answer: classify them.

Explanation: the minerals present in a rock (and their proportions) are a primary basis for identifying and classifying rock types—for example, granite is classified by high quartz and feldspar content, basalt by mafic minerals, and marble by recrystallised calcite. Mineral content does not directly "find," "melt," or "weigh" rocks.
