So scientists must learn about Earth’s interior, or ______________________, in other ways. Scientists use drills to get _______________________________________ from inside Earth. The rock samples help scientists learn what conditions were like inside Earth when the rocks formed. Geologists study how seismic waves travel through Earth. Seismic (SYZ mik) waves are waves made by __________________________. Seismic waves show that Earth is made up of layers like an onion. Review Questions (Answer the following questions.
