Question
using seismic wave, explain the interior of the earth?
Answer
Bernard:
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you.....
There are three types of seismic waves, each has different properties and acts differently in solids, liquids and "plastics." Scientists can use these known properties to calculate and model the materials that the different waves have traveled through from a known starting point (the epicenter), as each wave will arrive at the same measurement point (seismograph) at a different time.
Hope this helps, or at least gets you started.
Regards
Fraser
