Seismic Experiments for Interior Structure

Seismic Experiments for Interior Structure refer to studies that use seismic waves—similar to sound waves—to explore the Earth’s internal layers. Scientists generate these waves through natural events like earthquakes or artificial sources. By measuring how these waves travel and change as they pass through different materials, researchers can infer details about the Earth's structure, such as the composition and state of the core, mantle, and crust. This information helps us understand geological processes and the planet's history, contributing to fields like earthquake prediction, mineral exploration, and environmental science.
