they have used two methods direct and indirect. seismic waves are the forces produced when earthquakes occur.from rocks from deep inside earth they can give inferences about conditions deep inside earth. they also record the seismic waves and record how dast they travel through Earth this is an indirect method

∙ 11y agoLots of evidence comes from seismology. The magnitude, direction and speed of transverse and compression waves from earthquakes and sub surface explosions can divulge a lot of information about the structure of the Earth.

∙ 9y agoEven though earth's interior is not visible, scientists have implemented different methods to analyse and study its structure.Examination of seismic waves, study of law of physics and gravity, analyzing rocks and minerals are the main and more important strategies.

What did people think about the structure of the earth?
We need more information about what you wish to know. What people where and when. Do you mean how did they find out about the structure?
How far beneath the surface is the Earths core?
It's approximately (3,963)miles down to the earths core.
How long was the fault and how did scientists find this information out?
Fault rupture about 14km long alone the southern edge of the city.
Would you find nitrogen in the earths atmosphere?
Yes, 80% of the Earths atmosphere is made up of nitrogen.
What can scientist find out about earth with a seismometer?
Earths atmosphere
Why do scientists make measurements?
to find accurate information
How do scientists find out information on the core?
Scientists find out information on the core by using special tools to dig out samples from deep inside the earth. Special instruments "look inside" parts of the earth we cannot see.
What is the name of that show with the scientists that find lizards in the earths mantle and a boy on the surface finds one and tries to raise it with his friend in his dogs doghouse?
surface

How do scientists get info about dinosaures?
Scientists get information about dinosaurs from fossils and they are able to trace DNA and find out how dinosaurs looked, ate, hunted and lived.
How far beneath the surface is the Earths core?
It's approximately (3,963)miles down to the earths core.
Why do scientists are famous by people?
some scientists research and find new information, give us knowledge that we didn't fully understand, or invent new things.
Are there any websites that can help me find structure house diet?
Limited information is available about the Structure House Diet. The information I found is provided at the following website: www.bestdietforme.com/top60dietreviews/structurehouse.htm
Which tool would a scientist use to find information on the structure of an atom?
particle accelerator
What is a large table that scientists use to find out information about metals and other elements?
The periodic table of elements
Why do scientists repeat other researchers experiment?
Scientists repeat others' experiments to double check their findings as well as to find new information that might have been missed initially.
How long was the fault and how did scientists find this information out?
Fault rupture about 14km long alone the southern edge of the city.
