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.

To promote the growth of vegetation, Aborigines __________.

castortr0y [4]

A. Used fire to do controlled burns

The result of controlled burns were highly beneficial to both the Aborigines and the environment. The burnt remains of the burns were very fertile and encouraged the growth of new vegetation that would not have been able to flourish if the older growth had not been removed. The removal of old vegetation also resulted in a low chance of wild fires. Further more new vegetation was able to attract wildlife to graze, making hunting easier.

The concept of controlled burns is still used today and was/is also practiced by First Nations in North America.
