What is a type of wave that travels through earth's interior?
A seismic wave, or an earthquake.
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.
Studies of earthquake waves have helped scientist determine the?
The boundaries of tectonic plates and the internal structure of the earth.
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.
Is earthquake part of geology or geography?
Earthquakes are apart of geology. Geology is the study of Earth and Earth's interior, where as geography is Earth's climate and geographical features. I hope I helped answer your question. :)
What study pf earthquake waves called?
Earth's interior...
What is an earthquake's point of energy release?
The focus of an earthquake is the point in the earth's interior where energy is release.
Most of the information about Earth's interior was obtained by studying what?
Earthquake waves
What is the point of the earth interior where the energy of an earthquake is released?
Focus or Hypocenter
Where is the point in earth's interior where the energy of the earthquake is released?
the focus
What is a type of wave that travels through earth's interior?
A seismic wave, or an earthquake.
What is the point in Earth's interior where the energy of an earthquake is released?
Focus or Hypocenter
What is the point in earth's interior where the energy released causes an earthquake called?
The Tectonic Plates.
What is a seismic waves from the focus that are perpindicular to this motion?
the point in the interior of earth from where earthquake is orginated .
Explain why its impossible to ever really know the materials compose earth's interior?
Scientists have determined what the interior of the earth is like through analyzing seismic or earthquake wave
