Why do scientists think earth's core contains iron?

Geography

fgiga [73]3 years ago

The overall specific gravity of the earth is much higher than the specific gravity of crustal rocks which means the earth is about twice as heavy as the rocks on the surface would suggest. Iron meteorites are thought to have the same composition as the average earth, and the meteorites contain a lot more iron than the Earth's surface rocks.

1. Which type of wave vibrates both side to side and up and down?
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

1. S wave

2. P wave

3. Surface wave

Explanation:

1-Otherwise known as Slow wave, this kind of wave may travel through rock layers and shear it in a way of right-angles, however it does not propagate in liquids such as oceans or lakes.

2-Also known as the Primary wave, this kind of wave is the fastest to propagate, may travel through solids such as granite mountains and liquids such as bodies of oceans and magma under earth´s crust.

3-Surface waves are limited to being propagated just on surfaces, may move the ground in an S pattern but with no apparent vertical displacement. They may be particularly damaging to infrastructure such as buildings and housing.
