Conodonts in a sedimentary rock layer change color from dark to translucent-white. How will the sedimentary rock layer be affected if the burial continues?

The heat and pressure from the burial will cause the sedimentary rocks containing conodont fossils to form igneous rocks slowly.

Explanation:

don´t need one for common sense

We can observe physical properties of elements and compounds without changing the substance.

Examples of physical properties: Density, color, boiling point, state of matter, appearance: dull or shiny, etc. 

But we can also observe and measure chemical properties by reacting a substance with something else. For example, like mixing baking soda and vinegar together. The vinegar reacts with the baking soda and produces carbon dioxide: a new substance. 

Some examples of chemical properties: Flammability, amount of heat that is released during combustion, toxicity (how much damage it causes to other organisms), radioactivity, and ability to oxidize (when you have metal that becomes rusty looking).
