How has the study of earthquakes helped us understand the inner layer of the earth?

Earthquakes are caused by a shift in two different plates beneath the earths surface. The shift is usually caused by convectional magma flows underneath the earths crust. This is because the plates are purely floating slabs of rock on the magma beneath it. The layer beneath the crust is called the mantle.

How do scientists get information about the inner parts of the Earth?
the earth quakes and volcanoes have helped in the study of the inner parts of the earth
How do scientist find out stuff about the inner core of the earth?
They measure how waves from earthquakes travel through the earth, and they test how waves travel through liquid and solid and goo, and they compare the results to find the consistency of the inner core and other layers of the earth.
What is the deepest layer of the earth?
Inner core

How does the structure of the earth help explain why earthquakes and volcanoes occur along lines?
well basically because of the sphere shape of the earth the inner layers such as the mantle, inner core outer and crust the volcanoes will always grow in the direction of the sun because they are like plants and need sunlight to keep them alive, there fore all volcanoes will get there sun because of the rotation of the earth. Thank you i hope i helped.
Why do earthquakes happen by volcanic areas?
The reason why is simple. When a volcano erupts, it ruptures the earth's inner core, causing a few aftershocks of earthquakew.
How does the crustal plates moves?
by bubbling hot magma in the earth's inner core, erupting from volcanoes and causing earthquakes which cause the crustal plates to move.
How are the inner core and outer core similar?
They are both hot, and are deep down in the earth. hope that helped.
Do Inner planets rings and satellites more rings and satellites than outer planets?
I do not understand the question - the inner planets have no rings, and only Earth and Mars have moons.
What inner planets have no moon?
Mercury has no moons Venus has no moons Earth has 1 moon (Of course) Mars has 2 moons And that's all the inner planets HOPE IT HELPED :)
Is earth a inner or outter planet?
Earth is an inner planet because it has an atmosphere. Earth Rocks!
Is there any way we can get to the Earth's inner core?
There's a slight chance one day we can, but that won't happen until our technology advances and we understand Earth's interior more.
What is the deepest layer of the earth?
Inner core
