Birch–Murnaghan parameters for reference density profile.

Mineralogy K0 (GPa) K ρs (kg m−3)
Upper mantle 163 4.0 3240
Transition zone 85 4.0 3226
Bridgmanite 210 3.9 3870
Post-perovskite 210 3.9 3906
Melt 30 6.0 2750

Notes. K0 is the bulk modulus at pressure P = 0, K0 is the pressure derivative of the bulk modulus at P = 0, and ρs is the surface density.
