What is a seismograph used for measuring?
Seismic waves such as those produced by earthquakes.
Explain how scientists use seismic waves to map the earth's interior?
scientists use seismic waves to map earths interior by seismographs that measure the times at witch seismic waves arrive at different distances from an earth quake.
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.
Scientists have identified the boundaries between Earth's layers by studying?
The paths of seismic waves
Which feature of earth was discovered by studying the velocities of the seismic waves?
the Mohorovicic (Moho) discontinuity
Which feature of earth was discovered by studying the velocities of seismic waves?
the Mohorovicic (Moho) discontinuity
How was Earth's core discovered?
By studying how seismic waves travel through the Earth's interior.
Most of the information about earth's interior was obtained by studying?
seismic waves that travel through the earth
What equipment is used for measuring earthquakes?
seismometer, also known as a seismograph. which record seismic waves
Are seismic waves and tsunami the same?
A seismograph is an instrument that records movements within the earth. A seismogram is the actual recording that scientists look at when studying earthquakes.
Is seismic waves and earthquake waves the same?
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
