The Core - At a depth of 2900 Km P-wave velocities suddenly decrease and S-wave velocities go to zero. This is the top of the outer core. At a depth of about 4800 km the sudden increase in P-wave velocities indicate a solid inner core.

WHAT IS EARTHS INFERRED PRESURE AT A DEPTH OF 3500 KM BELOW THE SURFACE?

The inferred pressure at a depth of 3500 km below the Earth's surface is estimated to be around 1.3 million times atmospheric pressure at sea level. At such depths, the immense weight of the overlying rock layers causes this high pressure.

What is Earth's inferred pressure at a depth of 3500 km below the surface?

At a depth of 3500 km below the surface, Earth's inferred pressure is estimated to be around 1.3 million times higher than atmospheric pressure at the surface. This extreme pressure is due to the weight of the overlying rock and the compression of material at such depths within the Earth.
