hello there

Explanation:

Weathering is when rock (generally) or material is worn away via the Earth's atmosphere, the sun, water, or other natural elements. This is considered destructive.

Erosion is when water (usually rivers or rain) carries rock away from its original place or recently deposited position. This is considered destructive.

Deposition is when the rock that has been eroded away is deposited into a new place. This is considered contructive.

Geologist obtain indirect evidence about the earths interior by?
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Hi,

Geologists obtain indirect evidence about the earth’s interior by studying seismic waves produced.

Explanation:

Geologists are able to study the layers of the interior of the earth by observing the seismic waves patterns. The recorded data for the waves can show how the waves traveled through the earth and the path followed which will reveal the structure of the interior of the earth. The speed and magnitude of the wave can further reveal the characteristics of the earth’s interior.

Best wishes!
