What else can I help you with?
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.
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 =)
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 keeps the earths core so hot?
light and heat(i heard some1 say radiation 1ce but i dont think its true)
How do you obtain indirect evidence about earths interior?
Seismic waves
Is earths interior hot or cold?
The earths interior is cold
What two types of evidence geologist use to learn about earths interior?
Rock samples and Indirect evidence from seismic waves Direct evidence from rocks samples and indirect samples from seismic waves my science teacher told me
Geologists learn about Earths interior using indirect evidence from?
Geologists learn about Earth's interior using indirect evidence from seismic waves, magnetic field data, and rock samples from volcanoes and deep drilling. These methods help provide insights into the composition, structure, and properties of Earth's interior layers.
Why is little known of the interior of the earth?
The extreme heat and pressure inside the Earth make it difficult to penetrate deep enough to directly study it. Most of our knowledge comes from indirect methods like seismic waves and volcanic activity. Additionally, the high cost and technical challenges of drilling deep into the Earth make it difficult to conduct extensive research on its interior.
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
Can geologists observe earths interior directly?
Geologists cannot directly observe Earth's interior. Instead, they use indirect methods such as seismic waves, gravity studies, and geothermal measurements to infer the characteristics and composition of the Earth's interior. These methods provide valuable insights into the properties of the Earth's layers without the need to physically access them.
Which is powered by engery from earths interior?
Volcanoes
Is powered by energy from the earths interior?
Volcanoes
What happens in earths interior to produce earths magnetic?
The movements in the liquid inner core.
