The core–mantle boundary is the seismic discontinuity between the solid mantle and the liquid outer core, at a depth of ; there the P speed drops from about to about , and S waves stop. The inner-core boundary, at a depth of , separates the liquid outer core from the solid inner core; there the P speed jumps from about to about .
