How scientists determine the internal structure of the Earth.
How can scientists determine the internal structure of the Earth, if the depth of the deepest well is only a tiny fraction of the Earth's diameter?
This solution provides an elaborate discussion of the use of indirect measurements and seismic waves from earthquakes to determine the internal structure of the Earth. It is a rather complicated task to be able to accurately determine the internal structure of the earth, but the methods mentioned above facilitate such tasks.
