Wave A: The Boundary Of The Outer Core
Wave A is the S-wave Because the velocity starts at 4 and it reflects at 2,900 km. also known as the outer core. Wave B is the P-wave because the velocity starts at 8 and it refracts at 2,900 km. and it refracts at 5,100 km. also known as the inner core. The mantle starts at 1,800 km. because wave A and wave B both refract at that point and the outer core starts at 2,900 km. because wave A reflects from that point and wave B refracts at that point. So the boundary from the mantle to the outer core 1,100 km. The boundary of the inner core is 5,100 km. because wave B is also known as the P-wave refracts at that point, and the boundary of the outer core is 2,900 km. because wave B refracts at that point and wave A reflects at that point.

    The mantle itself is set between the crust, and the outer core of the earth. The mantle is by far the largest divide of the earth, measuring around 2900km thick, which is almost 85% of the earth’s volume. So the mantle is divided into four sections. The upper mantle (35 km- 400 km), the transition zone (410–660 km), the lower mantle (660–2900 km), and the core-mantle boundary (varies but normally 200km thick).…
