How did scientists determine Earth has layers?
Scientists determined that the Earth has layers through studying how seismic waves travel. These seismic waves differed depending on how thick the layer was.
How do scientists know that their is a red hot coar in the center of earth?
A man named Richard Dixon Oldham discovered that the earth has a core. He determined this by studying the propagation of seismic waves from earthquakes. He hypothesized that the seismic waves had an origin, which he believed came from the center of the earth from a molten core.
Scientists have identified the boundaries between Earth's layers by studying?
The paths of seismic waves
The Richter magnitude of an earthquake is determined from the .?
measurement of the amplitude of the largest seismic waves
List two things seismolgist can learn by studying seismic waves?
The magnitude of the earthquake and the distance to the earthquakes epicentre.

What is the benefit of studying measuring seismic waves?
Mapping the Earth's internal structure.
Explain how scientists use seismic waves to map the earth's interior?
scientists use seismic waves to map earths interior by seismographs that measure the times at witch seismic waves arrive at different distances from an earth quake.
Scientists have identified the boundaries between Earth's layers by studying?
The paths of seismic waves
Which feature of earth was discovered by studying the velocities of the seismic waves?
the Mohorovicic (Moho) discontinuity

How was Earth's core discovered?
By studying how seismic waves travel through the Earth's interior.
The Richter magnitude of an earthquake is determined from the .?
measurement of the amplitude of the largest seismic waves
The distance between a seismic station and the earthquake epicenter is determined from the?
The difference in arrival times of P and S waves.
Most of the information about earth's interior was obtained by studying?
seismic waves that travel through the earth
Are seismic waves and tsunami the same?
A seismograph is an instrument that records movements within the earth. A seismogram is the actual recording that scientists look at when studying earthquakes.
