Scientists can observe which seismic waves cannot pass through certain layers.

Answer 1

The two correct answers that describe how seismic waves help scientists understand Earth's layers are:

1. Scientists can observe how seismic waves change speeds when passing through different layers.
2. Scientists can observe which seismic waves cannot pass through certain layers.

These observations provide valuable information about the composition and state (solid, liquid, etc.) of Earth's internal layers.
