Why is the earth in layers?
Its in layers because of the density of the compounds in the earth
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 did density stratification change the earth?
the earth freezers layers after density stratification which consists of the core, mantle, and crust
What is the layers of the earth in order by density?
iner core outer core
Seismic waves travel through Earth's layers at different speeds depending on the what?
Density and the composition of the different layers affect the behavior of seismic waves.
Why is the earth in layers?

The Moon's average density is about the same as the density of which of the Earth's layers?
The moon's average density is about the same as the density of mantle of the Earth.
Why do you think earth have layers?
The Earth has layers because it is made up of materials of varying density.
Could density be related to the layering within the earth?
Yes, layers of the Earth haven't identical density.
Is the moon's average density greater than the density of earth's outer layers?
No

The core is the densest layer.
When compared to the other layers of Earth which layer has the lowest density?
The Crust
How are the layers of the earth determined?
The density and state of the subtance of the particular layer.
What is the layers of the earth in order by density?
