How were earthquake waves able to help geologists determine the different layers of Earth's interior?
O A. Waves traveled at different speeds through different substances Inside Earth.
O B. Geologists determined the depths of layers when the waves were reflected back to the source.
O c. Layers of Earth increased the amplitude of the earthquake waves making them easier to detect.
OD. Earthquake waves made the layers softer allowing geologists to drill shafts down to the inner layers.
