multiple - choice question
the moho marks the boundary between the ______ and is due
to rapid speed changes due to rapid changes in _______
crust and mantle, density
inner and outer core, color
core and mantle, density
crust and core, temperature
rewatch
The Mohorovičić discontinuity (Moho) is the boundary between the Earth's crust and mantle. This boundary is identified by a rapid change in seismic wave speed, which is due to a rapid change in density (the mantle is denser than the crust). The other options are incorrect: the inner and outer core boundary is not related to color; the core - mantle boundary is the Gutenberg discontinuity; and the crust - core is not separated by the Moho and temperature is not the relevant property here.
