Scientists observed and recorded characteristics of rocks to determine how they were formed. Various rocks showed different characteristics that could indicate processes like cooling of molten rock or compression and metamorphism of existing rocks. By analyzing the features of each rock, scientists sought to understand the geological processes involved in their formation.
