How have scientists figured out what the earths interior is made of?

Since we're not (yet?) able to drill a hole down there and find out, we're reduced to indirect measurements. Things like the mass of our planet and its gravity. (That's why we're pretty sure that the core is primarily iron.) The speed of earthquake vibrations in the mantle. The material that comes out of the Earth in volcanoes. Stuff like that.


How scientists learn about earths interior?
