What does the shadow zone tell scientists about Earths interior?
The shadow zone is an area on Earth's surface where no seismic waves are detected after an earthquake. This helps scientists understand the Earth's interior structure, as the absence of seismic waves in this zone indicates the presence of a liquid outer core that blocks the transmission of certain seismic waves.
How do scientistS know that the earth's inner core is made of dense iron and it's outer core is liquid?
When eartquakes erupt only certaing wavelengths can travel through both liquids and solids, so when the scientists measure to see at what point in the earth the waves refract they can then tell what parts are solid and what parts are liquid
What does that tell you about the composition of earth's center?
The presence of iron in Earth's outer core suggests that the inner core is also composed of iron, as it is likely the result of the solidification of the inner core. The density of Earth's core indicates it is primarily composed of heavy elements like iron and nickel, with some lighter elements like sulfur and oxygen. The core composition helps explain Earth's magnetic field and seismic properties.
How do seismic waves help scientists understand earth's interior?
The speed of the waves that travel through the interior can tell the density of each layer of the Earth. Some waves can make it through certain layers, but not others.
What is stratification and why is it important to earth scientists?
Stratification refers to the layering or arrangement of different materials or substances. It is important to earth scientists because it provides insights into the geological history of an area, including past environmental conditions and processes that have shaped the Earth's surface. By studying these layers, scientists can better understand the evolution of the Earth and predict future changes.
What does the shadow zone tell scientists about the earth's core?
the shadow zone is a result of the core stopping

How can they tell the inner core of the earth is solid?
by sesmic waves
What does it look like in side of Mars?
Since no human has ever set foot on Mars, it is hard to tell, but scientists think the inside of Mars is kind of like the inside of the earth, with a hot core, and miles of rock.
Which country is in the middle of earth?
Jules Vernes classic literature 'journey to the centre of the earth' tell the story of an intrepid German explorer who finds himself dealing with various monsters and other hazards during his decent to the earths core. This was all fiction though, scientists believe that there is a molten core of iron and nickel there so no country. We have yet to explore this area of earth though, so this has not been confirmed.
Why would the earth lose it's gravity if it's core cooled?
The Earth's gravity is not solely dependent on the temperature of its core. Gravity is determined by the mass of the Earth and its size. Even if the core were to cool, the Earth would not lose its gravity as long as its mass and size remain constant.

The core composition helps explain Earth's magnetic field and seismic properties.
What is the core of the earth filled with?
The core of the Earth is mainly composed of iron and nickel. The inner core is solid due to high pressure, while the outer core is molten. The heat generated by radioactive decay and leftover heat from the Earth's formation contributes to the high temperatures in the core.

What are two layers of earth in which convection currents takes place?
dont known tell me
