Answer;

-Waves

Explanation;

-The main evidence for the structure of the Earth comes from studying waves generated during an earthquake. When stress builds up and rocks at depth break, then elastic waves, just like sound waves are sent from the point of rupture. These waves speed out and move through the earth.

-When seismometers are put on the surface of the Earth, these waves can be measured. In particular, if we have enough seismic stations and the quake is big enough, then we can take all the travel time information and invert it. That means we can obtain a graph that shows the density of rock as a function of depth.

-Once we know the density we can estimate what the actual materials are. We find that the earth has a small inner core made out of iron surrounded by a larger outer liquid iron core and that is surrounded by a rocky mantle and rocky crust.

Elenna [48]

Answer:

Do neither of these things ( c )

Explanation:

For length contraction : Is calculated considering the observer moving at a speed that is relative the object at rest applying this formula

L = (l) \sqrt{1 -\frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } }

where l = Measured distance from object at rest, L =  contracted measured in relation to the observer , v = speed of clock , c = speed of light

you will do neither of these things because before you can make such decisions who have to view the object in this case yourself from a different frame from where you are currently are, if not your length and width will not change hence you can't make such conclusions/decisions .
