Lower mantle

Japanese: 下部マントル - かぶまんとる
Lower mantle

…The depth distribution of density, pressure, gravity, and elastic constants in the mantle was estimated by Brun Ke Bullen in 1940. According to his division into B layer (from the Moho to a depth of 413 km), C layer (413-984 km) and D layer (984 km to the mantle-core boundary), the area up to a depth of 400 km is often called the upper mantle, the area 400-900 km is called the transition layer, and the area deeper than 900 km is called the lower mantle. Sometimes the mantle is simply divided into the upper mantle and the lower mantle, with the boundary between them being around a depth of 660 km. …
