They use direct evidence from rock samples and indirect evidence from seismic waves.
To study earth's interior, geologist often rely on indirect methods such as evidence from seismic waves, not fossils.
direct evidence from rock samples and indirect evidence from seismic waves
1. Reactions and speed of seismic waves as they travel through the interior. 2. Through the study of volcanism and its causes. 3. From meteorites that are remnants of extraterrestrial collisions.
They are all inside earth's mantle and interior.

Geologists obtain indirect evidence about the earth's interior by reactions to seismic waves. They also use rock samples and drilling samples.
direct evidence from rock samples and indirect evidence from seismic waves
From gravity and magnetic surveys and from seismic information.
Yes, to some extent.
Geologists have used two main types of evidence to learn about Earth's interior: direct evidence from rock samples and indirect evidence from siesmic waves.
1. Reactions and speed of seismic waves as they travel through the interior. 2. Through the study of volcanism and its causes. 3. From meteorites that are remnants of extraterrestrial collisions.
Studying how seismic waves refract inside the earth and if they "cast shadows" indicating that some layers inside earth are opaque to some types of seismic waves. Seismic waves "illuminate" the interior of the earth like light waves illuminate a room, permitting what is there to be seen if you have the correct tools to observe them.
