Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Seismic wave analysis involves the study of how energy waves propagate through the Earth's interior, and allows scientists to gain inferential knowledge about the composition and structure of the different layers of the Earth's interior. Computer modeling, gravity studies, lunar cycles, and astronomy are all methods that can be used to study the Earth, but are not as directly related to gaining inferential knowledge about the interior of the Earth.
