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.
