... In your first geology course you learned that knowledge of these shells has come from the interpretation of travel times of seismic waves. Earthquakes occur near the surface of the Earth (up to depths of ~700 km), and so seismic waves (specifically P and S waves; 2) travel from one side of the Earth ...

Models of the interior of the Earth
... 5. You will now attempt a 2-velocity model of the Earth. You can do this with math, but to make it simpler we will just use a 1:25,000,000 scale model of the Earth (Figure 2, the big handout). You can measure ray-paths to determine their lengths. We will make an Earth that has a seismic wave velocit ...

The success of the gravity method depends on the different earth materials having different bulk densities (mass) that produce variations in the measured gravitational field. These variations can then be interpreted by a variety of analytical and computers m ...

Geodesy
Geodesy (/dʒiːˈɒdɨsi/), — also known as geodetics or geodetics engineering — a branch of applied mathematics and earth sciences, is the scientific discipline that deals with the measurement and representation of the Earth, including its gravitational field, in a three-dimensional time-varying space. Geodesists also study geodynamical phenomena such as crustal motion, tides, and polar motion. For this they design global and national control networks, using space and terrestrial techniques while relying on datums and coordinate systems.
