Structure of the Earth the crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core, and inner core. The geologic component layers of Earth are at the following depths below the surface: The layering of Earth has been inferred indirectly using the time of travel of refracted and reflected seismic waves created by earthquakes. The core does not allow shear waves to pass through it, while the speed of travel (seismic velocity) is different in other layers. The changes in seismic velocity between different layers causes refraction owing to Snell's law, like light bending as it passes through a prism. Likewise, reflections are caused by a large
What Shall We Do Now? What Shall We Do Now? "What Shall We Do Now?" (working title "Backs to the Wall") is a song by Pink Floyd, written by Roger Waters. It was originally intended to be on their 1979 album "The Wall", and appeared in demo versions of "The Wall", but was omitted due to the time restraints of the vinyl format.
