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 =)
How to describe one way in which geologists have gained indirect evidence about earths interior?
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.
Where in the interior of earth do geologists believe that the earths magnetism is influenced?
Convection of liquid metals in the outer core creates the Earth's magnetic field.
What can be used to map the deep interior of the earth?
The deep interior of the Earth can be mapped using seismic waves. Natural earthquakes produce seismic signals which penetrate the Earth. Timing the arrival of these waves at various sites round the world, gives indication of the shape and the wave velocity in the Earths interior. Rather similar to the way a CAT scan can reveal the interior of a person.
What is much of earths usable freshwater obtained from?
The largest source of freshwater on earth is ice sheets, glaciers, and icebergs. The Great Lakes are the largest fresh water on the planet.
What prevents geologists from studying earths interior?
Depth, temperature and pressure barrier.
Is earths interior hot or cold?
The earths interior is cold
Why do you think scientists study earths interior?
why do you think scientists study earths interior?if you were a scientists ,will you undertake a study of the earths interior?
What do geoligists use to map the earths interior?
bananas are eatin by the earths interior
Does indirect evidence of earths interior come from studying rock samples?
Geolagists think yes but everyone says NO what do u think? Love morganc😜
What information did scientist study in order to develop a model of earths interior?
It is caused by rcording of earthquake waves
Which have scientist learned from studying seismic waves that travel through earths interior?
The speed of the waves that travel through the interior can tell the density of each layer of the Earth. Some waves can make it through certain layers, but not others.
What is the seismic wave that travel's through the earths interior?
A body wave is a seismic wave that travels through Earths interior.
How does temperature of earths crust compare to the temperature of earths interior?
it depends on the deepth
What is a good topic about volcanoes?
Earths interior
Which is not part of earths interior?
outer core
What is powered by the energy from earths interior?
Volcanoes
