What is the P wave velocity (V_P[mantle]) in the mantle just above the core-mant

Question

What is the P wave velocity (V_P[mantle]) in the mantle just above the core-mantle boundary? Highlight and replace the question mark (?) with your answer. V_P[mantle] = km.s^-1 What is the S wave velocity (V_s[mantle]) in the mantle just above the core-mantle boundary? Highlight and replace the question mark (?) with your answer. V_S[mantle] = km.s^-1 What is the P wave velocity (V_P[core]) in the core just below the core-mantle boundary? Highlight and replace the question mark (?) with your answer. V_P [core] = km.s^-1 What is the S wave velocity (V_S[core]) in the core just below the core-mantle boundary? Highlight and replace the question mark (?) with your answer. V_S [core] = km.s^-1

Explanation / Answer

From the given diagram it is given that just above core mantle boundary Vp is constant

So

Vp = 13 km/s

2)for S wave just above core mantle boundary Vs is slightly risen above 7 in the seismic velocity curves

So Vs = 7.2

3))for P wave velocity ust below core mantle boundary Vs is slightly risen above 8 in the seismic velocity curves

So Vp = 8 .3 m/s

4) since the graph is between the intervals of 2900 and 5155 km/s

So

Vs(core) = 0
