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 geoligists use to map the earths interior?

Geologists use seismic waves to map the Earth's interior. By studying how these waves travel through the Earth, geologists can infer information about the composition and structure of different layers beneath the surface. This helps them understand the different layers of the Earth, such as the crust, mantle, and core.


What are plate tectonics and what does it have to do with the earths shape?

Plate tectonics are what each continent is on. They move and are continuing to move today. It has to do with the earth's shape because the plate tectonics move the continents around.
