on July 1969 we set foot on the moon and created seismic waves (moon quakes) that lasted over an hour that would have lasted only 20-30 seconds on earth(earthquakes). So seismic waves last way longer on the Moon then on Earth.

How Richard oldham discover that outer core of the earth was liquid?

Richard Oldham discovered that the outer core of the Earth was liquid through the analysis of seismic waves. He observed that certain seismic waves would not pass through the Earth's outer core, indicating it was a liquid layer that blocked those waves. This discovery revolutionized our understanding of the Earth's internal structure.


What two metals are found at the centre of the Earth?

Iron and nickel are believed to be the two main metals found at the center of the Earth. This is based on seismic data and the behavior of these metals under high pressure and temperature conditions similar to those found at the Earth's core.


Earth's core is likely composed mostly of?

iron and nickel, with some lighter elements like oxygen and sulfur. This composition is inferred from studying seismic waves and the behavior of materials under high pressure and temperature conditions similar to those found in the Earth's core.


What pieces of evidence supports the theory that the Earth's interior is composed of different elements than those prominent in the crust?

The study of seismic wave behavior provides evidence that the Earth's interior is composed of different elements than the crust. These waves change speed and reflect differently at boundaries between different layers, indicating varying compositions. Additionally, analysis of meteorites and volcanic eruptions has revealed elements that are not abundant in the Earth's crust but are present in the mantle and core.


How do scientists know that the inner core is solid?

Scientists use seismic waves from earthquakes to study the Earth's interior. By analyzing the way these waves travel through the Earth, they have found that certain waves cannot pass through the inner core, indicating that it is solid. Additionally, laboratory experiments that simulate the high pressure and temperature conditions in the Earth's core support the idea that the inner core is solid.
