Answer:

The seismologists have determined the distinct boundaries that are present within the interior of the earth. These have been identified by studying the behavior of seismic waves. These waves include the primary and the secondary waves, commonly represented as P and S waves.

The P waves were found to get deviate as it enters the outer core from the mantle, whereas the S waves get dissolve as it reaches the core-mantle boundary. These data helped the seismologists to understand the changing composition and density of the earth at various depths. This is how the internal layers of the earth were determined.

Scientists can tell by observing the seismic waves that are recorded all over the surface of the earth from distant earthquakes. The seismic waves are reflected (bounced off) layers of different density, and they are refracted (bent) when they enter layers of different density.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

C. High heat capacity

Explanation:

Water helps maintain temperature of communities close to it. It does this by absorbing heat emanating from the communities around the water bodies such as rivers and seas in a process known as convection current. In exchange for absorbing the heat from the land, the river or sea supplies the land with cool sea breeze. This exchange will help maintain temperature at a close range.

The outer planets are made mostly of gas which makes them
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

less dense than the solid inner planets.

Explanation:

A planet can be defined as a large celestial body having sufficient mass to allow for self-gravity and make it assume a nearly circular shape (hydrostatic equilibrium), revolves in an orbit around the Sun in the solar system and has a cleared neighborhood.

Basically, the planets are divided into two (2) main categories and these includes;

I. Outer planets: these planets are beyond the asteroid belt and comprises of jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptune, from left to right of the solar system.

II. Inner planets: these planets are the closest to the sun and comprises of mercury, venus, earth and mars.

The outer planets are made mostly of gas (hydrogen and helium) which makes them less dense than the solid inner planets. These gases are generally known to be less dense in terms of physical properties.
