Answer 2

Answer 3

Scientists use waves to study the different layers of the earth. Usually, they use seismic waves, which are waves generated by earthquakes or nuclear-test explosions. The seismic waves are bent, sped up, or slowed down, or even reflected when they pass through the earth's layers. Different types of materials (liquid vs. solid, rigid vs. softer) determine the speed of the waves. Bending of the waves occurs at the layer's boundaries. So, scientists study the path and speed of these waves through the earth to decipher boundaries and the materials that make up the layers.

Answer 4

can you explain it in shorter sentences please :)

Answer 5

and in your own words please?

Answer 6

please?

Answer 7

Usually, seismic waves that are made by earthquakes are bent, speeded up, slowed down, or reflected when they go through the layers of the earth. Different materials inside the Earth's layers, such as rigid, smooth, liquid, and solid, determine how fast or slow the speed of those waves travel.

Answer 8

there I paraphrased into my own words

Answer 9

thank you and r u sure its right? :)

Answer 10

yes pretty sure geny person... 95% sure 5% room for doubt tho

Answer 11

wait but does that answer have to do with scientists

Answer 12

does icecreamman get a medal now?

Answer 13

yes but does the answer have to do scientists

Answer 14

yes i'm pretty sure because scientists are the one's who figure this stuff out right?

Answer 15

yes

Answer 16

ok well icecreamman is pretty sure that you can incorporate the word "scientists" into that short little paraphrase icecreamman gave to you earlier right? geny person has a nice big brain and icecreamman thinks that geny person can do that just fine right?

Answer 17

so the answer is that.... scientists use these waves to tell us about the inside of the earth because different types of materials determine the speed of the waves. Different materials inside the Earth's layers, such as rigid, smooth, liquid, and solid, determine how fast or slow the speed of those waves travel. So, scientists study the path and speed of these waves through the earth to decipher boundaries and the materials that make up the layers.
That is how scientists use these waves to tell us about the inside of the Earth.

Answer 18

is that how i can write the answer?

Answer 19

sure sounds good to me geny person

Answer 20

ok thanks!
r u like a science teacher?

Answer 21

nope :)

Answer 22

then what r u?
