What do you called the boundary between the mantle in the core?

The boundary between the mantle and core is called the core-mantle boundary. This region is marked by a significant change in density and composition, representing the transition from the solid mantle to the liquid outer core of the Earth.


What is the boundary between mantle and core?

The boundary between the mantle and the core is called the core-mantle boundary and also The Gutenberg Discontinuity which marks the upper boundary of the D'' (D Double Prime) layer.


What divides the mantle and the core?

The boundary separating the Earth's mantle and core is known as the core-mantle boundary. This boundary is characterized by a sharp decrease in seismic wave velocities, indicating a difference in composition and properties between the outer core and the lower mantle.


Is the boundary between the liquid core and mantle known as the Moho?

No. The Moho (more correctly the Mohorovičić discontinuity) is the name given to a seismic discontinuity between the Earth's crust and mantle. The seismic discontinuity between the Earth's mantle and liquid core is known as the Gutenberg discontinuity or the CMB - Core Mantle Boundary.


What is the zone from the base of the asthenosphere to the boundary of the mantle and core?

The zone you are referring to is the mesosphere, which lies between the base of the asthenosphere and the boundary separating the mantle from the core. It is characterized by high pressure and temperature conditions, as well as the gradual increase in density from the bottom of the mantle to the core-mantle boundary.

What is the boundary between the mantel and core?

The boundary between the mantle and core is known as the core-mantle boundary. It lies approximately 2,900 kilometers below the Earth's surface. This boundary separates the molten iron-nickel outer core from the solid iron-nickel inner core.

How did Beno Gutenberg discover the boundary between mantle and outer core?

He didnt just discover 'a boundary' between mantle and outer core. He provided the first reasonable accounting of Earths interior (proved the thought that the earth was in layers and not just a homogenous planet). He was also the first to estimate the temperature and physical properties of the earths core, which is why the boundary is called after him. He first discovered the layers through seismic waves from earthquakes, realising they had different magnitudes and intensity because they must have had to go through layers before reaching the surface as well as depending where the epicentre is.

What is the temperature at the boundary between the mantle and the outer core?

What is the surface that separates the core from mantle?

The boundary that separates the Earth's core from the mantle is known as the core-mantle boundary (CMB). It lies approximately 2,900 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface and marks the transition between the solid inner core and the molten outer core.
