	classification. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The original purpose of biological classification, or systematics, was to organize the vast number of known plants and animals into categories that could be named, remembered, and discussed.
		A considerable number of classification changes as well as insights in recent years have been the result of comparisons of nucleic acid (genetic material) sequences of organisms.
		Little interest was shown in classification until the 17th and 18th cent., when botanists and zoologists began to devise the modern scheme of categories.

	Populating Taxonomic Moisture Class and Subclass in NASIS \| NRCS Soils
		The taxonomic classification alone, however, is not always sufficient for this purpose because the soil moisture regime is not always described completely by the taxonomic classification.
		A taxonomic moisture subclass that is not “typic” reflects a taxonomic intergrade or extragrade.
		For the Mollic subgroup, the taxonomic moisture subclass is understood to be typic because the Aeric subgroup (the name of which indicates the only other moisture subclass to be used with aquic) precedes the Mollic subgroup in the key, leaving typic as the only remaining choice.

	Levels of Classification of Faith Groups
		There are other types of classification, based on such criteria as the size of a group, level of social acceptability, level of political power, theology, number and nature of deity, history, etc. These criteria have nothing to do with the classification scheme described here.
		But the term "cult" is of no use in a branching taxonomical classification which simply describes, for statistical purposes, which groups are part of which larger movements.
		The classification scheme I am describing here is my understanding of the methods and terminology most widely used for practical purposes in the academic field of comparative religion.

	Classification of Igneous Rocks
		This taxonomic classification was designed to simplify the complexity of nature by lumping together living species that shared common traits.
		As discussed earlier, texture is used to subdivide igneous rocks into two major groups: (1) the plutonic rocks, with mineral grain sizes that are visible to the naked eye, and (2) the volcanic rocks, which are usually too fine-grained or glassy for their mineral composition to be observed without the use of a petrographic microscope.
		As noted in the sidebar to the left, this is largely a genetic classification based on the depth of origin of the rock (volcanic at or near the surface, and plutonic at depth).

		They are part of the division of biology called Taxonomy, which classifies and names organisms based on their natural relationships and shared characteristics.
		Taxonomic classifications are based on the following 7-level hierarchical scheme, with each successive level describing the organism in more detail:
		The modern classification system originated with the Swedish botanist and physician Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778), and is based on works he published in 1735, 1753, and 1758.

	Classification and Identification Lab Investigation
		Normally a taxonomic system will begin by dividing groups of organisms on the basis of their most general characteristics and continue to work toward more specific characteristics which will separate the different species.
		Within the taxonomic system each species must have a name which is universally recognized and the same name must not be used for two different species of organisms.
		The major insight upon which the five-kingdom classification is based is the recognition that the differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes are probably the most profound in the living world.

	What is Taxonomic Classification?
		Taxonomic classification is the hierarchical organization of living beings into categories and subcategories that reveal their likenesses.
		The groupings used in taxonomic classification are called taxa, the plural of taxon, hence the name of the classification system.
		There are eight main levels in the currently used and internationally accepted taxonomic classification system, which has its foundations in the work of Carl Linnaeus.

		As a result, classification of plant groups was more satisfactory and their arrangement was showing natural relationships with each other.
		For example, all flowering plants with ovules enclosed in an ovary cavity are grouped together as Division - Angiosperms whereas, the angiosperms are further classified into two classes: Dicotyledons and Monocotyledons, on the basis of differences of the characters of root system, leaf venation, flower symmetry and number of cotyledons in the embryo.
