Atomic mass deals with the number of protons and neutrons added together, atomic number deals with protons only, though isotopes can be explained like this, say you had a hydrogen atom it's one proton and one electron if you add a neutron to it, the hydrogen becomes Deuterium which is a isotope of hydrogen it's the same atom just a neutron added to it for a different atomic mass if only slightly changed
The answer is temperature
From Earth's<span> density we can estimate what elements must compose the </span>Earth; an iron core<span> just happens to estimate </span>Earth's<span> mass the best. Now from energy waves, geologists use seismometers to measure movements in </span>Earth's<span> interior (e.g. Earthquakes), These energy-waves form compressional and shear waves</span>
