How scientists learn about the inner layer of the earth without being able to view it directly?

They use different energy waves and send them into the earth and wait for the reflection of those waves and measure them with a detector. By different energy I mean different frequencies due to the fact that higher frequencies(like x-rays) can pass through dense material(like skin,muscle, and tissue) but reflect off a denser materials(like bones) to form an image (like an x- ray).

What are the planet that human being can be possible to live aside from earth?
The planet human being's can possibly live on besides-planet earth, Well scientists don't know for sure because scientists are not always correct no offense to scientists though. Well that's my answer!
Why do scientists think the earth is the only planet to support human life as you know it?
Not all scientists believe this. The topic of Earth being the only planet in the known universe to support life has been and still is a heated debate amongst many scientists.
What is it called when scientists refer to the earth being all as one large land mass before the tectonic plates shifted and parts of the earth were divided?

Why is it good for scientist to be skeptical?
When scientists are skeptical, the are more likely to find new thing. When scientists are not skeptical, they are less open to opportunities. For example, if scientists were not skeptical of the idea the Earth was flat, then they would have continued many many more years without knowing the true shape of the world. Also, without scientists skepticism, they would not have found out that the planets rotated around the sun, not that everything rotates around Earth.
According to early scientists what was the shape of the Earth?
That the earth was flat.
What is the temp of center of earth?
Scientists can never be sure of the exact temperatures at the center of the Earth, because we can not directly travel to the center of the Earth. Some scientists believe it is around 12,500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Did scientists create the Earth?
No, but some scientists do study how the earth, the solar system and the universe came to be based on observations of the universe today and in the past and our understanding of the "laws of physics."

What type of scientists study rocks?
A geologist studies rocks and what the earth is made of. A petrologist is someone who looks at rocks directly.

Are the yeti or the abominable snowman exist?
Probably not but scientists think that there might be a similar being roaming the Earth.
Who was the doctor or scientists that used geometry to measure earth?
A man named Eratosthenes did this without leaving Egypt. He knew that at local noon on the summer solstice in Syene that the sun was directly overhead. He was a Greek astronomer living in Egypt more than 2,000 years ago.
Why do scientists study Earth s tidal patterns?
Why do scientists study Earth's tidal patterns?

Scientists who study Earth's surface and interior are called Geologists.
What are scientists who study earth's oceans called?
Scientists who study earth's oceans are called oceanographers.
