What information did scientist study in order to develop a model of earths interior?
It is caused by rcording of earthquake waves
How does the composition of earths interior effect an earthquake?
The strength of an earthquakes focus.
What is the point in earths interior where the energy release of an earthquake occurs?
Epicenter
How is the speed of earthquake waves used to provide information about earths interior?
Primary Waves or P waves come first and they are the quickest and travel through earth's interior. So if there is an earthquake in China the P wave will go through the earth and onto the other side in a couple of seconds and scientists know this because only a p wave can travel through liquid, solid, and gas and the interior of the earth is made up of semi-molten rock, molten rock and solid rock so we kind or know how the earth is inside.
Where does the point in the earths interior where the energy of an earthquake occurs?
The point underground where the energy is released (causing the earthquake) is the focus point. This area is the actual origin of the earthquake. It should not be confused with the epicenter, which is the point above ground where the earthquake originates.
