How do geologists determine the stability conditions of minerals?

A) Studying rock samples from drill holes
B) Observing deep rocks that were uplifted due to tectonics and exposed
C) Conducting laboratory experiments with high T and P conditions
D) All of these

Tectonics

The study of the Earth's crust and mantle involving the processes that structure the Earth's surface, including the formation of mountains, continents, and oceans.

Minerals

Naturally occurring, solid chemical compounds or elements with a defined composition and crystal structure, found in the Earth's crust.

Stability

The state or quality of being resistant to change, disruption, or displacement, often used in various scientific disciplines such as chemistry, physics, and engineering to describe systems or structures.
