Using Earthquakes To Study the Earth`s Interior
... The deepest that scientists have drilled into the earth is 12 kilometers. That’s less than 0.2 percent of the distance from the surface of the earth to its center! So how do scientists know so much about the layers of earth’s interior? How do they know, for example, that the lithosphere is rigid? Or ...
