What else can I help you with?
How do scientists know about the structure of the earth's interior?
Because of the study of seismic waves from earthquakes
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 earthquakes. How do they occur?
earthquakes happen when sections of the earths crust shift.These shifting parts called plates,are actually pieces of the crust floating on the hot molten interior of the earth. The majority of earthquakes happen along the edges of those plates,and along weak areas of the crust called fault zones
How does knowing about the earths interior help us understand plate tectonics?
Knowing about the Earths inside helps to understand tectonic plates. The currents in the mantle move the tectonic plates-well they can change it and they help them move. However, it doesn't really affect much considering tectonic plates move on their own.
What does the shadow zone tell you about earths interior?

How do scientists know about the structure of the earth's interior?
Because of the study of seismic waves from earthquakes
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 prevents geologists from studying earths interior?
Depth, temperature and pressure barrier.
Does earthquakes cause tsunamis?
because it shifs the earths plates
Why do some earthquakes happen in the earths mantle?
because of the folded deformation
What does most of your knowledge about Earths interior crust come from?
Our knowledge of Earth's interior comes from studying seismic waves generated by earthquakes. By analyzing how these waves travel through the Earth, scientists can infer properties of the different layers, including the crust. Additionally, studying rocks brought to the surface by volcanic activity and conducting geophysical surveys help provide insights into the composition and structure of Earth's crust.
Is earths interior hot or cold?
The earths interior is cold
How is heat from earths interior transferred to earths surface by convections?
Beneath the surface of the earth temperature remains the same. Within the Earth, irregular convection cells within the mantle transfer heat from the core to the surface of the planet. Volcanoes and earthquakes are two examples of heat transferring from the interior to the surface.
I want an information on earthquakes?
earthquakes are movements on the earths surface
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 is most of earths major earthquakes caused by?
Earths Major Earthquakes are caused by faulting of rock in earth's crust.Hope this helps
Why do few earthquake happen in earths mantle?
Few earthquakes happen in the earths mantle do to the fact that the mantle has a folded deformation. This means that the amount of pressure on the mantle caused it to deform.
