The seismic waves that travel through Earths interior are waves.?
body waves
How do you obtain indirect evidence about earths interior?
Seismic waves
Why do earthquake waves travel fast in the crust but slowest in the interior of the earth?
Earthquake waves travel fastest in the interior of the Earth, as speed of waves increases as we go inside the Earth. The speed of a wave depends on the properties of the medium it travels in. The wave propagates faster in the denser and heavier core.
The seismic waves of an earthquake are useful in determining?
The waves of earthquakes help us determine information about the interior of the earth. The more geologists know about the interior of the earth, the better they can predict earthquakes and other changes in the formation of the Earth's crust.
How scientists use seismic waves to map the earth's interior?
Scientists use seismic waves to map Earth's interior by using seismographs that measure the times at which seismic waves arrive at different distances from an earthquake.
What information did scientist study in order to develop a model of earths interior?
It is caused by rcording of earthquake waves
Most of the information about Earth's interior was obtained by studying what?
Earthquake waves
What do earthquake waves travel through?
earthquake waves travel through the earths crust.
Why might an earthquake's primary wave but not it's secondary wave reach a location on the other side of the world from the epicenter?
Only primary waves travel thought the earths interior because S waves cannot travel through the liquid portion of Earths interior and P waves can. Whoever you are, you were just schooled by an eighth grader =)
The seismic waves that travel through Earths interior are waves?
body waves
The seismic waves that travel through Earths interior are waves.?
body waves
What are seismic waves and what information information do they give about earthquakes?
Earthquakes are when the seismic plates on the earths crust move after pressure from on another is exceeded, seismic waves are produced after an earthquake, and can turn into a tsunami.
How is the speed of earthquake waves used to provide information about earths interior?
Primary Waves or P waves come first and they are the quickest and travel through earth's interior. So if there is an earthquake in China the P wave will go through the earth and onto the other side in a couple of seconds and scientists know this because only a p wave can travel through liquid, solid, and gas and the interior of the earth is made up of semi-molten rock, molten rock and solid rock so we kind or know how the earth is inside.
What is a seismic wave that travels through the earths interior?
body waves
What study pf earthquake waves called?
Earth's interior...
How do you obtain indirect evidence about earths interior?
Seismic waves
How did scientists learn about earths interior?
rocks and seismic waves
