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.

GalinKa [24]
Aorta to: arteries, capillaries, venules, veins, superior/inferior Vena Cavae, to Right atrium of the heart, through the tricuspid valve(or called the right AV valve) into the Right ventricle, then pushed through the Pulmonary valve into the Pulmonary trunk and then off into the Pulmonary-Arteries ( to the lungs), then to Pulmonary arteries( which bring blood back to the heart), then into the Left atrium through the Mitral valve into the Left Ventricle, which pushes blood through the Aortic Valve then back to the Aorta!
There is your detailed answer in order! :) yay!!

Just imagine the process in your head. Once you trace it with your mind it is easy to follow!

Good luck and I hope I helped.
