What is Elastic Modulus Estimation in Earth about?

Longitudinal earthquake waves typically travel at 5 km/s. Given the average earth density of 1500 kg/m3, the student was asked to estimate the elastic modulus of the earth. Using the formula relating wave velocity, density and elastic modulus, the student calculated the elastic modulus to be 5.625 x 1011 Pa.
