The crust is primarily made of granite and basalt while the mantle beneath is made of peridotite. More about all that below.

We placed each of the samples in each test tubes and the physical state‚ color‚ and appearance was identified. We determined the solubility of the elements by using distilled water. We used red and blue litmus paper for the Group
