How do scientists study the Layers of the Earth

Scientists use their eyes where the layers have risen above ground and drill core samples to bring to the surface to study. Scientists use GPS tracking to study plate tectonics.

by studying how seismic waves refract as they pass through different material.

What type of volcanoes formed the Hawaiian islands

Shield Volcanoes.

What is an opening in the earth's crust through which volcanic materials pass to the earth's surface

vent

What are the two categories of seismic waves

The two main categories of seismic waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the Earth.

You are correct, liquids is the correct answer.

The lithosphere surrounds the inner core of the earth

The lithosphere is the outer layers of the earth surface and surrounds the inner parts of the earth.

Is the asthenosphere a region in the earth where magma chambers form

Yes. That is what the asthenosphere is.

What is an eruption from the side of a volcano called

lateral eruption

Which of these ideas best describes plate tectonics

The earth's plates drifted on hot molten material...

Which type of volcano has explosive eruptions due to thick magma which contains a large amount pf pressurized gas

the stratovolcano

What is a small volcanic mountain wih a narrow base and steep sides
