Ascientist finds a piece of rock in a crater. he analyzes the rock and realizes that the composition is mostly of iron and nicke. he claims that he found a meteor. what is most likely the scientists error?

should be called meteorite

The scientists error is that he refers to the meteorite as a meter however it should be classified as a meteorite since 1 it mostly consists of iron and nickel and 2 it is already on the earths surface.

answer and explanation;

composition refers to both the types of minerals within a rock and the overall chemical makeup of the rock while texture refers to the size and arrangement of the minerals or grains that make up a rock. both composition and texture can be used to classify rocks, such as igneous rocks. texture describes how the rock became solid or crystallized from liquid, melted rock. composition of a rock describes the minerals that make up a particular rock.
