Summary
We re-examine the problem of the mantle-core discontinuity. By means of theoretical equations of state for silicates in the metallic form, we conclude, once more, that it is a composition discontinuity rather than a phase transition.
Sommario
Si riesamina il problema della discontinuità tra il mantello ed il nucleo. Per mezzo di equazioni di stato teoriche si conclude che essa non può essere una transizione di fase.
