Estimate the average bulk modulus of earths crust given

Reference no: EM13515123

Earthquakes at fault lines in Earth's crust create seismic waves, which are longitudinal (P-waves) or transverse (S-waves). The P-waves have a speed of about 8 km/s. Estimate the average bulk modulus of Earth's crust given that the density of rock is about 2,500 kg/m3.
