Seismology studies the propagation of seismic waves through the Earth, allowing scientists to determine the density, composition, and temperature of different layers within the Earth's interior. By analyzing the reflection and refraction of these waves, seismologists can infer the boundaries between Earth's core, mantle, and crust, as well as identify various geological features such as fault lines and magma chambers. Understanding the structure of the Earth through seismology helps us gain insights into the planet's formation, tectonic processes, and natural hazards like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
