Why is adequate depth during chest compressions during CPR important?

The aim of chest compressions is to squash the heart under the chest. Every compression 'squashes' the heart, this causes all of the blood to be pumped out of the heart and off round the body, taking the oxygen with it (assuming you're doing the breaths as well). You then come back up, allowing the heart to refill before you compress again. In this way you are reproducing a heartbeat for someone who doesn't have one.
