  1. inner core - solid ball of nickel-iron alloy
  2. outer core - liquid nickel-iron alloy
  3. mantle - solid plastic basaltic rock (plastic means very flexible and can "flow" under pressure)
  4. ocean crust - solid brittle basaltic rock
  5. continental crust - solid brittle granitic rock

What type of evidence acts as a record of changes in organisms over time and indicates major changes in earths surface and climate?

Fossils serve as evidence of changes in organisms over time and reveal major changes in the Earth's surface and climate. By studying the types of fossils found in different rock layers, scientists can understand how life has evolved and how the environment has changed over millions of years. This field of study is known as paleontology.

What are the earths layers of rock classified by?

The Earth's layers of rock are classified by their composition and physical properties. The main layers are the crust (continental and oceanic), mantle, and core (outer and inner). These layers are distinguished by differences in chemical composition, density, and temperature.
