scientists can tell what the interior looks like by the different type of waves there is. scientists know that P (primary) waves can travel through any substance, and that S (secondary) waves can travel only through solids and stop at liquids when P waves slow down at liquids. when they monitor the p and s waves they realize that after a certain distance (2932 km) the s waves stop and p waves slow down. thus meaning it is in the liquefied outer core. but after a certain amount of time the p waves speed up again. this means it has left the outer core into the solid inner core.

Why do you think scientists study earths interior?
Scientists study Earth's interior to better understand the planet's composition, structure, and dynamics. This helps in predicting natural disasters like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, as well as in understanding processes like plate tectonics and magnetic field generation. Studying the Earth's interior also provides insights into the planet's history and evolution.
What do scientist use to study earths interior?
sea floor spreading :D-3
How is the speed of earthquake waves used to provide information about earths interior?
Primary Waves or P waves come first and they are the quickest and travel through earth's interior. So if there is an earthquake in China the P wave will go through the earth and onto the other side in a couple of seconds and scientists know this because only a p wave can travel through liquid, solid, and gas and the interior of the earth is made up of semi-molten rock, molten rock and solid rock so we kind or know how the earth is inside.
Why is it difficult for scientists to know what the inside of the earth is like?
The interior of the Earth is inaccessible, with the deepest humans have drilled being only a few kilometers. Scientists have to rely on indirect methods like seismic waves and studying rocks brought up by volcanoes. These methods provide clues but do not give a complete picture of the Earth's interior.
How do scientists know what the inside of a sinkhole look like?
Scientists use ground-penetrating radar, drilling, and other geophysical techniques to create images of the interior of sinkholes. By studying the layers of sediment and rock, as well as any water present, they can infer the structure and shape of the sinkhole underground.

Explain why its impossible to ever really know the materials compose earth's interior?
Scientists have determined what the interior of the earth is like through analyzing seismic or earthquake wave

What did scientists learn about earths interior by studying rock samples?
They can learn about conditions deep inside Earth, where these rocks formed. In addition, forces inside Earth sometimes blast rock to the surface from depths of more than 100 kilometers. These rocks provide clues about the interior.
How have scientists figured out what the earths interior is made of?
Since we're not (yet?) able to drill a hole down there and find out, we're reduced to indirect measurements. Things like the mass of our planet and its gravity. (That's why we're pretty sure that the core is primarily iron.) The speed of earthquake vibrations in the mantle. The material that comes out of the Earth in volcanoes. Stuff like that.
