What planet do scientists believe life may once have existed on?
mars. now tell me why they think that?
What do volcanoes tell scientists about the crust or mars?
They tell scientists when the wolrd will in
How can you tell someting is a planet not a moon?
The planet will orbit the sun, while moons orbit the planet.
What do seismograms tell us?
im guessing something to do with earthquakes. Since a seismograph is used to measure earthquakes and also because the word 'earthquake' is Spanish is 'sismo'
How do scientist map earths interior?
When earthquakes occur, scientists measure them using seismographs. Earthquakes produce a number of different types of waves. Some run along the surface of the earth. Some travel through the earth. Those that travel through the earth travel at different speeds. It is possible to create similar waves in a lab and measure how those waves travel through different types of materials. Since earthquakes occur all over the world, it is possible to measure the waves from all angles. Thus, if a wave travels a small distance through the core, scientists can tell by differences in speed what it would be if it traveled through all mantle material. So with the difference in speeds in different types of waves, scientists can figure out what is in the earth's interior.
What are some different types of scientists and what do they do?
Some scientists are people that explore the world and try to tell us about the planet but we don't understand!

What the saying?
If you learn to read them (study Geology) the rocks tell you the past history of our planet.
What the rock says?
If you learn to read them (study Geology) the rocks tell you the past history of our planet.
What do volcanoes tell scientists about the crust or mars?
They tell scientists when the wolrd will in
How could you travel through the mantle?
It's impossible but many scientists and other smart people are working on it. we can tell whats under the earths crust by the vibrations produced through earthquakes ect
How can scientist tell where the earthquakes happened?
With a measuring tape
When where there earthquake?
With earthquakes, you really can't tell when or where they will occur.
How can scientists tell if there is a mutation?
How can scientist tell if there are mutations
Do earthquakes happen all over the world?
it is hard to tell but when i find out ill tell you
Was there ever an earthquake on Saturn?
Due to the impossibility of landing a probe on the surface of any of the gas giants, scientists have been unable to to tell if there has ever been seismic activity on the planet Saturn.
How can you tell someting is a planet not a moon?
The planet will orbit the sun, while moons orbit the planet.
