Biology

Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

Andrija Mohorovicic was a famous seismologist from Croatia. He observed that the seismic waves namely P and S waves travel through the interior of the earth. The speeds at which these waves travel is different in the different layers of the earth. The P wave was observed to be travelling at a faster rate than the S wave and it can travel in both solids as well as liquid i.e it can travel through the crust, mantle and core region. Whereas the S wave can travel only in crust and mantle. <u>This variation in speed occurs due to the increasing density towards the inner core of the earth</u>.

Thus the correct answer is Option (4).

Answer:

Seismic waves traveled at varying speeds.

Explanation:

The Moho Discontinuity was discovered by one Croatian seismologist, Andrija Mohorovicic. He realized that the speed of a seismic wave depends on the density of the material the wave is moving through. Mohorovicic interpreted the acceleration of seismic waves observed within the Earth's crust as a change in composition of matter within the Earth.

The right option is; B) are not composed of cells.

The single, MOST important reason why viruses are classified as non-living is that they are not composed of cells. The cell is the basic unit of structure and function in organisms. All living organisms are composed of one or more cells (according to the cell theory) and viruses do not have cells. Therefore, many scientists classify viruses as non-living.

Viruses are non-cellular microscopic infectious organism that are composed of two main parts; nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) and a protein coat that protects the nucleic acid. Viruses require a living cell (host) to reproduce and usually cause disease in the host organism.
