Because the atmosphere in the thermosphere is so thin‚ a thermometer cannot be used to measure the temperature accurately and special instruments are needed. The Earth interior is divided into 4 layers. The properties of the Earth’s interior have been inferred primarily from earthquake waves. Distinct characteristics are found within each layer such as density‚ temperature‚ and pressure. OBJECTIVE: In this
