The Earth's interior is composed of many layers that are differentiated from the surface. This makes the Earth different from other terrestrial planets. These layers are characterized by their chemical and geological properties, their temperature and pressure, and their density. Seismic monitoring is one way scientists can gain an understanding of the interior of Earth. Seismic waves are produced when an earthquake occurs, and their velocity and refraction allow scientists to determine the density of the interior layers.
