There are actually many layers inside the earth, much like an onion. The very center of the earth however, is called the core.
The Tectonic Plates.
The earth's interior is called the core.
In which region of the Earth's interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks can begin to melt?
In which region of the Earth's interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks can begin to melt?
The point in Earth's interior where the energy of an earthquake is released is called the focus or hypocenter. It is the location within the Earth where seismic waves originate, typically located along a fault line. The energy released at this point travels outward, causing the shaking felt during an earthquake. The point directly above the focus on the Earth's surface is known as the epicenter.
The point within Earth's interior where the energy of an earthquake is released is called the focus or hypocenter. It is the exact location where the seismic rupture occurs along a fault within the Earth's crust. The energy released at the focus propagates as waves to the Earth's surface, causing the shaking and destruction associated with earthquakes.
An earthquake's point of energy release is called the focus or hypocenter. This is the exact location within the Earth where the seismic waves originate due to the sudden movement of rocks along a fault line. The point directly above the focus on the Earth's surface is called the epicenter.
Scientists who study Earth's surface and interior are called Geologists.

Focus or Hypocenter
It is called geothermal energy.
Hot molten rocks from the interior of the earth are called magma when they are beneath the earth's surface and lava when they reach the surface through volcanic eruptions.
