How did scientists determine the information about the earth's crust?
By poking, prodding, analyzing rock, testing hypotheses. The scientific method.
Studies of earthquake waves have helped scientist determine the?
The boundaries of tectonic plates and the internal structure of the earth.
If scientists knew the latitude of a location on Earth and surface but not the longitude what could they determine about the location?
How far north or south of the equator the location lies.
How do scientists work out if an object from space will hit earth soon?
Orbital ephemera. They consider its position relative to the sun, earth/moon, and other planets. Over a period of days they can determine its orbit, and whether that orbit likely intersects ours.
According to early scientists what was the shape of the Earth?
That the earth was flat.
How did the scientists determine the shape of the earth?
round shape
How do scientists get information about the inner parts of the Earth?
the earth quakes and volcanoes have helped in the study of the inner parts of the earth
Who are the Two scientists who helped Darwin and others recognize how old?
James Hutton and Charles Lyell were the two scientists that helped Darwin recognize how old the Earth is.
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 did scientists determine Earth has layers?
Scientists determined that the Earth has layers through studying how seismic waves travel. These seismic waves differed depending on how thick the layer was.
What is the law of superposition and how does it help scientists learn about earth's past?
Determine the age of the layers of rocks
How does earthquake waves determine the different layers of the earth?
how earthquakes helped in determining the different layers of earth
Who are the two scientists who helped Darwin recognize how old the Earth is?
James Hulton and Charles Lyell.
How long ago did earth and your solar system form?
About 4.5 to 4.7 billion years ago. It's difficult to determine it more precisely; we weren't there.
How have scientists been able to determine the composition of Earth's layers?
Severals methods are all combined to give the scientist info on the layers of the Earth. For example they study the influence of the earth on orbits of the moon and other planets (mass distribution of the earth, mass density). They study the way seismic waves go through the earth which gives knowledge of layers. They use wave to sound. They examine sample of earth.
