Question

What are the main evidences of the layered structure of the earth ?

Answer

 The main evidences of the layered structure of the earth's interior are the changes in velocity and travel paths of various seismic waves. Three zones of varying properties have been identified in the earth on the basis of changes in the velocity of seismic waves while passing through the earth e.g. crust, mantle and the core.
