Also influenced by elevation and altitude
Answer:
Yes, Moho discontinuity marks the gap or zone of unevenness in the deep layer of earth crust.
Explanation:
- Mohorovičić Discontinuity is usually found between the two layers of the earth's crust namely Upper mantle and a lower crust that causes the waves to rise and create tremors and earthquakes at shallow depths.
- Thus it separates bothe the continental and oceanic crust. moho lies within the entire zone of the lithosphere, only beneath the mid-oceanic ridges and this discontinuity starts from 5 to 10 kilometer below the oceanic floor with an average of 35 kilometers.
- Immediately above this zone the P-waves due to the refracture nature of the moho which is characterized to 500 m thickness Most of the P and S waves get deflected through the solid inner core and where they don't form a shadow zone.
Explanation:
UV (ultraviolet) levels are high in the areas of high altitudes. Tibetan plateau being the highest plateau of the world is more exposed to the UV radiations as the atmosphere gets thinner in the areas of higher altitude. So it can not filter the maximum of ultraviolet radiations. Tibetan plateau is on 4,500 meters height and the UV level increase by 10-12% upon every 1000 meter elevation.
However in those areas having the constant cloud cover like in Congo Basin the UV level is low as the clouds scatter the most of the UV radiations and they particularly stop the UV-B radiations. Thats why the cloudy areas have less UV level then the areas having a cloudless clear sky.
Hetrogenous! Hope this helped
