In the earth's interior which part causes the diffraction of P waves made by earthquakes?

Any change in density will cause diffraction (and or reflection) of seismic waves.
Some key density boundaries include the Moho or Mohorovičić discontinuity which marks the boundary between the crust and the mantle, and the Gutenberg discontinuity which marks the boundary between the mantle and the outer core.

How does energy in earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
The energy from the core of the earth causes currents in the molten layers, the way there are currents in the ocean. These currents are what causes the Tectonic Plates to move along the surface of the earth.
