A look at the Inner Earth Studying the earth’s interior can help us to understand earthquakes‚ volcanoes‚ plate tectonics and more about the inner earth’s natural processes.

Lighter materials‚ the silicates‚ oxygen compounds and water have risen to become part of the crust. This action has created distinct layers within the earth and is still in process today
