Types of minerals change in heated (igneous / metamorphic / sedimentary) rock. A record of biological time can be found in (sedimentary / metamorphic / igneous) rock. Matter changes state from liquid to solid to form (metamorphic / igneous / sedimentary) rock.

Determining the characteristics of the Earth's layers requires conducting experiments, not using x-rays.
Observing properties that require a tool are hardness and carbonate content, contrasting to cleavage and luster.
The mantle is defined by its chemical composition.

i couldn't get the last question i accidentally skipped a page and its like 1 AM as i'm writing this lol
