Earth’s Rheological and Compositional Structure (10pts Total]): (Part 1 of 3) The figure below shows the temperature-pressure dependent melting relationships of Earth’s interior (solidus), from the surface (0 km) to its center (~6300 km), as well as a generic geothermal gradient for Earth. 3a. [4 pts]: Determine the approximate depth (km) of the base (bottom) of each of Earth’s Rheologic layers (e.g., 100, 900, 1100 2500): By 100’s, in other words, NO numbers like 3157 (Do NOT include units).
