Geologists record the seismic waves and study how they travel through Earth. The speed of seismic waves and the paths they take reveal the structure of the planet. Using data from seismic waves, geologists have learned that Earth's interior is made up of several layers.

Answer:

Indirect evidence used to study Earth's interior are

analysis of several seismographs  

location of an earthquake's epicentre  

identification of seismic wave direction

Explanation:

The earth is mainly divided into 3 layers. These are the crust, mantle and the core. Further, the interior part of the earth cannot be studied directly and the direct evidence explains the composition of rocks.

The seismic waves help with the understanding of indirect evidence. The seismic waves are the energy that travels through different layers of the earth.It is caused due to  volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides etc. Thus, analysis of several seismographs, identifying the direction the of seismic wave and location of earth’s epicentre helps to study earth's interior.
