WHO DISCOVERD EARTH'S CORE

The existence of a solid inner core distinct from the liquid outer core was discovered in 1936 by seismologist Inge Lehmann using observations of earthquake-generated seismic waves that partly reflect from its boundary and can be detected by sensitive seismographs on the Earth's surface. This boundary is referred as Bullen discontinuity or sometimes Lehmann discontinuity.
