The example of an indirect evidence which is used to study Earth’s interior is: C. Location of an earthquake’s epicenter.

Earth refers to one of the planets that rotates on its orbital axis and revolves around the Sun. Also, planet Earth is the only planet known to harbor and support life.

Based on astronomy, planet Earth comprises four (4) main layers starting at the center and these include:

  • The outer core
  • The mantle
  • The crust
  • The inner core

Some of the evidence that can be used to study the Earth’s interior (inner core) are;

1. The mineral composition of rocks.

2. The age of a rock from within Earth.

3. The texture of various core rock samples.

4. The location of an earthquake’s epicenter.

An epicenter is the point on the surface of planet Earth, which is typically perpendicular to the hypocenter (focus) and it indicates where the seismic waves from an earthquake are most intense. Thus, the location of an earthquake’s epicenter is an an indirect evidence which is used to study Earth’s interior (inner core).
