The '''Preliminary reference Earth model''' (PREM) is a one-dimensional [[Scientific modelling|model]] representing the average [[Earth]] properties as a function of planetary radius.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Dziewonski|first1=Adam M.|date=June 1981 |title=Preliminary reference Earth model |journal=Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors |volume=25 |issue=4 |pages=297–356 |url=https://www.cfa.harvard.edu/~lzeng/papers/PREM.pdf|doi=10.1016/0031-9201(81)90046-7 |last2=Anderson |first2=Don L. |bibcode=1981PEPI...25..297D}}</ref> It includes a table of Earth properties, including [[elasticity (physics)|elastic]] properties, [[Anelastic attenuation factor|attenuation]], [[density]], [[pressure]], and [[Gravity of Earth|gravity]], as a function of planetary radius.
