    What destructive force of nature enables scientists to tell what is inside the earth like?

    • Tsunami

    • Earthquake

    • Tornado

    • Typhoon

    Correct Answer
    A. Earthquake
    Explanation
    Earthquakes are a destructive force of nature that enable scientists to tell what is inside the Earth. When an earthquake occurs, seismic waves are produced, which travel through the Earth's layers. By studying the behavior of these waves as they propagate through the Earth, scientists can gather information about the composition, density, and structure of the Earth's interior. This helps in understanding the different layers of the Earth, such as the crust, mantle, and core, and provides insights into geological processes and phenomena.
