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.

Patellar responses often strengthen with diversion how do you explain this observation
horrorfan [7]
This observation may indicate that the patella is responding when its reflexes are tested and that those responses are being strengthened by other parts of the spinal cord that are not usual, indicating diversion. The patellar reflex indicates that there is activity in the L<span>2, L3, and L4 segments of the </span><span>spinal cord.</span>
