by making inferences based on data from seismic waves.

∙ 11y agoEasy... with years and years of test, runs and special tools the scientist were able to discover layer by layer towards the earths core with knowledge of gravity they were able to consider that the core as a (giant magnet) to hold our world together

∙ 10y agoScientists have placed sensors around the globe which detect sound and other waves that pass or don't pass through the Earth. When an event such as an Earth quake happens a lot of noise and energy is created (released). Different types of rocks and rock states (solid, liquid, etc) effect these sounds in certain identifiable ways. Using these sounds picked up on the other side or angle from where the event occurred (Quake), Scientists determine the composition of the Earth.
No one has yet to penetrate the crust of the Earth and reach a lower layer, so this is not totally proven.

What are the limitations of scientist model about the earth layers?
Well it is much smaller than the actual earth. The crust is a little tiny tiny sliver compared to the other layers. It doesn't get to show the temperature or state of matter on a model (at least most).
What type of scientist analyzes the composition of rocks?
A geologist does that and he/she studies both the liquid and solid materials of earth.
Which layer is believed to behave most like a liquid?
If we're talking layers of the earth, that would be the upper mantle, below the crust.
Most common state of matter on Earth?
the Earth has 3 main layers the Atmosphere, Crust, and Mantle/Core the Atmosphere is made up of mostly gas the Crust is made up of (mostly) solids and the Mantle/Core is filled mainly with liquid metals
Which of these scientists would be interested in the earth layers?
They want to look into further details about any natural disaster that might happen that can damage the earth or OR they just want to discover more about the Earth's layers
What layers of earth have scientist explored?
PORN
Which layers of the earth are liquid?
The outer core is the only Earth layer that is liquid.
How are scientist were able to arrive at the district layers of the earth?
how scientist were able to arrive to the district layer of the earth
Who is the scientist discover the 4 layers of earth?
Hannah Montana
Which one of earth's interior layers is thought to be liquid?
The outer core is liquid.
What natural accurence help scientist learn about the layers of earth?
hi
What do scientist use to establish earthquakes and volcanoes?
The density of Earth's layers
Is A scientist who researches the age of rock layers in the Grand Canyon studies earth science?
Earth
Which of the layers of the inner earth are made of of liquid rock?
the answer is the mantle
How do scientist find out stuff about the inner core of the earth?
They measure how waves from earthquakes travel through the earth, and they test how waves travel through liquid and solid and goo, and they compare the results to find the consistency of the inner core and other layers of the earth.
How can you tell the earth has different layers using seismic data?
the earth is in solid and liquid form thus penetration is different tha:t account for the different earth layers.
How geologist study the earth?
The physics and the formation of the Earth.
