Given an emulsion how does one know whether it is Oil in Water or Water in Oil kind? Maybe this is a tad elementary but I'm having a mental blind spot. 

Further, my example has two liquids and a solid. Does that make it a suspension or an emulsion. Are there strong dividing lines?

Some of the sources seem to have a classification based on continuous and dispersed phases and also the size of the dispersed phase. Is the majority phase always continuous (I think not) but if not, how does one decide.
