Why do you think geologists use drill bits covered with small diamonds to drill into the earths crust?

Well, diamonds are hard minerals, and if they are used in a drill, it could help with the power given and make the course, and power of the drill increase. Diamonds are minerals and they are found in South Africa. You dig them up and they are contained in a rock called "kimberlite" after that you give the shape, size and polish the diamond. They may use them for other things, not only jewelry. They are also used in: Telecommunication, rock drill bit, mine shack.....
This information is true, i will post more soon! ;)

What is direct evidence in science?
Physical samples of rock extracted (taken) from deep within Earths crust.
Which rock group makes up least of earths crust?
Just to say: This question refers to rock groups. Not what type of rock.Igneous rocks make up most of the earth's crust.
How do the elements in the human body compare to elements in the earths crust?
the chemical composition of human beings are similar to that found in the reminisce of stars after they impload this answer is correct human beings cant be chemically composed like earths crust because we arent formed from silicates and crystals

What are scientist who study earthquakes and the movement of the Earths crust?
Seismologists or geologists, respectively.
What do geologists think causes earths plates to move?
The movement of the Earth's plates is known as plate tectonics. Geologists think the plates move due to a build up of extreme heat in the Earth's crust.
