Question

Name the boundary between the crust and the mantle which has characteristics of both layers.

Options

• Gutenberg Discontinuity

• Crust Discontinuity

• Mantlic Discontinuity

• Mohorovicic Discontinuity

Answer 1

Mohorovicic Discontinuity

Explanation:

The Mohorovicic Discontinuity (commonly known as the Moho) is the boundary between the crust and the mantle. It represents a change in the composition and physical properties of the Earth's layers, with characteristics of both the crust and the mantle. The Moho is where seismic waves change speed due to the differences in rock composition between the crust and the mantle.
