2 ways to find interior?: 1- Seismic Waves 2- Rock Samples

Seismic Waves: When earthquakes occur, the waves traveling through the earth are measured. This is indirect evidence of earth's interior.

Rock Samples: Direct evidence of earth's interior.

3 main layers of the earth?: Core, Mantle and Crust

Subduction: The action of being pushed or drawn beneath another object when plates crash together.

Mountain Range is produced by:: A collision between two pieces of continental crust at a converging boundary.
