Question

understanding geologic evidence
use what you learned about geologic evidence to choose the correct answers from the drop - down menus.
drop - down menu provide us with the actual rocks from inside earth. they are considered drop - down menu evidence of earths interior.
drop - down menu are a form of energy that travels through or across earth and helps scientists infer what is inside earth. they are considered drop - down menu evidence of earths interior.

Explanation:

1. The first blank: Volcanic eruptions (like lava and magma that cool into rocks) bring up actual rocks from Earth's interior. So the first drop - down should be "Volcanic eruptions". And since they are actual samples, they are "direct" evidence.
2. The second blank: Seismic waves (like P - waves and S - waves) are a form of energy that travels through Earth. Since we infer Earth's interior from their behavior (not direct samples), they are "indirect" evidence. The first part of the second sentence's drop - down is "Seismic waves".

Answer:

First drop - down: Volcanic eruptions; Second drop - down (first in second sentence): direct; Third drop - down (second in second sentence): Seismic waves; Fourth drop - down: indirect
