THE EARTH’S DYNAMICS

Start

Seismic and gravimetric methods

Igneous and metamorphic methods

Direct and indirect methods

Direct and magnetic methods

What are the two main methods used to study the Earth's interior?

QUESTION 01

WOW!

Comparative method using meteorites

Seismic method

Magnetic method

Gravimetric method

Which indirect method has provided the most information about the Earth's interior?

QUESTION 02

WELL DONE!

Faster waves that can travel through solids and liquids

Waves that measure magnetic properties

Waves that travel only through the Earth's surface

Waves that are slower and unable to travel through liquids

What are P waves in the seismic method?

QUESTION 03

WELL DONE!

They are reflected at the Earth's surface

They only propagate in magnetic fields

They are absorbed by solid materials

They cannot travel through liquids

Why can S waves not travel through all materials inside the Earth?

QUESTION 04

WELL DONE!

A layer made of completely liquid materials

A region where waves completely stop propagating

A boundary where seismic wave speed changes suddenly

A point where waves accelerate uniformly

What is a discontinuity in the context of seismic studies?

QUESTION 05
RETURN?

CONGRATULATIONS!

¡NO!
