no! ITS BECAUSE s WAVES GO ONLY THROUGH SOLIDS AND P WAWES GO THROUGH LIQUID GASSES AND SOLIDS AND WE CAN TELL LIKE HOW THE CORE IS A LIQUID

Seismic waves that go straight through earth make the trip very quickly what does that tell us about the composition of earths center?
solid
How have seismic wave studies helped scientists determine the structure of Earth's interior?
The speed of the waves that travel through the interior can tell the density of each layer of the Earth. Some waves can make it through certain layers, but not others.
How do seismic waves help scientists understand earth's interior?

What do s shadows tell us about the interior of the earth?
it tells us that the earths interior (core) is a liquid
What does the shadow zone tell scientists about Earths interior?
that the earth is going to end in 2 days
Which have scientist learned from studying seismic waves that travel through earths interior?

What characteristic of seismic waves tell you this?
Seismic waves are the waves that rapidly move through the earth's crust causing a shift in techtonic plates. These waves tell us how strong an earthquake was.

What tool is used to tell through earthquake waves about the inside of the Earth?
A sizemograph is used to mesure the sizemic waves under the earths surface
Is it true when you study earth's interior geologists often rely on indirect such as evidence from fossils?
No. Fossils tell us about what was living at or near the earths surface in the past, they do not tell us about the Earth's interior. When studying the Earth's interior, geologists look at micro gravity variations (which tell us about density differences in deep rocks), magnetic variations (which tell us a bit about the deep rocks composition) and most importantly seismic records (which tell us about the physical properties of the deep rocks). We also look for deep rocks that have been brought to the surface during the collision of continents (the roots of mountains) and volcanic events (such as diamond pipes).
How do scientists know what the earths interior is like?
scientists can tell what the interior looks like by the different type of waves there is. scientists know that P (primary) waves can travel through any substance, and that S (secondary) waves can travel only through solids and stop at liquids when P waves slow down at liquids. when they monitor the p and s waves they realize that after a certain distance (2932 km) the s waves stop and p waves slow down. thus meaning it is in the liquefied outer core. but after a certain amount of time the p waves speed up again. this means it has left the outer core into the solid inner core.
