The study of the Earth's interior is an example of indirect observation as it relies on seismic waves generated by earthquakes. Scientists analyze these waves to infer the composition and structure of Earth's layers despite not being able to access them directly. By observing how these waves behave, researchers can draw conclusions about the Earth's internal features and processes.
