Gutenburg Discontinuity
Gutenburg Discontinuity
They mark the boundaries of differing layers of the Earth. The Moho marks the boundary between the crust and the mantle, whereas the Gutenberg discontinuity marks the boundary between the mantle and outer core.
The distance from the boundary between the mantle and the outer core, to the center of the Earth, is around 3,470 km, or 2,156 miles.
Remembering that there is an inner core inside the outer core - the radius of the outer core/mantle boundary is about 3,400 km. (the diameter is twice the radius).
90 degrees
It is 500 to 900 Celsius at the upper boundary and 4000 Celsius at the boundary near the outer core. A2. The values range between 500 deg C at the crust boundary, to over 4 000 deg C at the outer Core boundary.A1. between 100 to 1600 Celsius. The Mantle temperature varies to about 1600-4000 degrees.The average temperature of the mantle is is 5400 ºF (3000ºC).
The D'' area of the mantle extends from 2798 km to 2900 km, which is the boundary between the mantle and the liquid outer core. At this level, the pressures are enormous, roughly equal to 1.4 million units of atmospheric pressure.
Inner Mantle: The average temperature is about 3000ºC Outer Mantle: The average temperature is about 2200ºC
Gutenburg Discontinuity
Inner Mantle: The average temperature is about 3000ºC Outer Mantle: The average temperature is about 2200ºC

yes!
boundary between the lower mantle and the outer core
The boundary between the mantle and the outer core is a layer known as D". It is a thermal and chemical boundary where a change in speed of seismic waves has been noted.
The Earth's interior is made up of four layers, the crust, mantle, outer core and the inner core. In the mantle, temperatures range between 500 to 900 degrees Celsius at the upper boundary with the crust; to over 4,000 degrees Celsius at the boundary with the outer core.
how the thin outer crust is floating on the thick liquid mantle, causing the crust to move and form a divergent plate boundary
