What are the problems with studying the structure of the earth?

Sagot :

well we are not able to see the internal structure of the Earth directly because we can't get at it! The thinnest crust is under the oceans but even that is around 7kms thick, way deeper than we can drill. We have to use indirect methods like earthquakes, and infer the structure from the way the pressure and shear waves produced travel through the Earth.
