Which techniques can scientists use to determine the characteristics of Earth's layers? Select the two correct answers.(1 point) Responses study how seismic waves travel through different layers study how seismic waves travel through different layers drill deep mines to obtain samples from Earth's mantle and core drill deep mines to obtain samples from Earth's mantle and core examine the behavior of minerals at extremely low temperatures examine the behavior of minerals at extremely low temperatures use X-rays to obtain a view of Earth's interior layers use X-rays to obtain a view of Earth's interior layers conduct experiments about how minerals change under high pressure

study how seismic waves travel through different layers

drill deep mines to obtain samples from Earth's mantle and core

How can scientists use diamonds to understand conditions inside Earth?(1 point) Responses They can use diamonds to recreate the chemical composition of Earth's inner core. They can use diamonds to recreate the chemical composition of Earth's inner core. They can use diamonds to observe how seismic waves travel through different materials. They can use diamonds to observe how seismic waves travel through different materials. They can use diamonds to generate pressures higher than those in Earth's core. They can use diamonds to generate pressures higher than those in Earth's core. They can use diamonds to cut through layers of Earth's crust.

They can use diamonds to observe how seismic waves travel through different materials.

Use the table to answer the question. Mineral Hardness Cleavage/Fracture Luster Obsidian 5 Fracture Vitreous Halite 2.5 Cubic cleavage Vitreous Fluorite 4 Octohedral Vitreous An unknown mineral specimen is not scratched by a penny and does not exhibit cleavage. The mineral is most likely to be: (1 point) Responses obsidian obsidian halite halite fluorite fluorite

The mineral is most likely to be obsidian since it has a hardness of 5 and does not exhibit cleavage.

Which part of the rock cycle can only occur because of thermal convection?(1 point) Responses sediment changing to sedimentary rock sediment changing to sedimentary rock magma changing to igneous rock magma changing to igneous rock metamorphic rock changing to sedimentary rock metamorphic rock changing to sedimentary rock igneous rock changing to metamorphic rock igneous rock changing to metamorphic rock

magma changing to igneous rock
