Question

which example is indirect evidence used to study earths interior?
composition of minerals in a rock
age of a rock from within earth
location of an earthquake’s epicenter
texture of different core samples

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Indirect evidence for Earth's interior relies on observations that do not involve direct physical samples of the deep interior. The location of an earthquake's epicenter is used alongside seismic wave behavior, which bends and reflects as it travels through different layers of Earth, to infer the structure of the interior. The other options involve direct analysis of physical rock samples, which is direct evidence.

Answer:

C. location of an earthquake's epicenter
