Almost all of the processes that shape our Earth are affected by what is going on deep under the crust. The formation of volcanoes is evidence that the inside of the earth is not just solid rock, and the growth of mountains implies immense forces at work to push mountains so high. In fact, the movement of material in the Earth even affects the weather that we have. Some scientist believes that life would not be possible on Earth if it were not for the activity going on miles beneath our feet.
