6.1 Earthquake-Induced Vibration of Structures Topics Seismicity and Ground Motions Influence of Local Site Conditions Response of Structures to Ground Motions Seismicity and Ground Motions The earth is made up of four layers, the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core. Lithosphere is broken into a number of tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are rigid, relatively cool slabs about 100 km thick consist of the earths crust and lithosphere. Tectonic plates 构造板块float on the molten mantle （asthenosphere软流圈）of the Earth and move relative to one another at the rate of 10 to 100 mm
