Fin whale songs contain signals reflected and refracted within the crust, including the sediment and the solid rock layers beneath. These signals, recorded on seismometers on the ocean bottom, can be used to determine the thickness of the layers and other information relevant to seismic research.

## Explanation

A strong response maintains a steady pace and clear articulation, ensuring that technical terms like seismometers and refracted are pronounced accurately to convey the scientific context.

## Hints

- Focus on the rhythm of the sentence. Pause briefly at commas to allow the listener to process the technical terminology.
- Ensure the final consonant sounds in words like crust and layers are fully articulated to maintain clarity.
