By Knowing the average speed of a plate what can scientists estimate about Earth's continents?

Knowledge of Earth's plate tectonics allows seismologists, geologists, and various other scientists to predict what the face of the planet will look like in future, and what it has looked like in the past.


How have scientists learned about the interior layers of the earth?

Scientists learn about the layers deep within the Earth's crust by studying how seismic waves travel through the Earth. ... By looking at the time of arrival of the main set of waves, and how the frequencies of the waves are arranged within the set, scientists can learn about the density and other properties of the layers.


How old do geologists think the earth is?

Geologists and other related Earth scientists have estimated the age of the Earth to be approximately 4.65 Billion years old based on a wide variety of scientific experiments and data.


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.


Earhtquakes most commonly occur at what distance below earth's surface in miles?

a earthquake can really start anywhere but it is usually started at the earths core (middle). Other names are the epicenter which is were the earthquakes starts at the earths surface. The focus is where it begins inside the earth.....
