Answer:
is a thick band of neural fibers enabling communication between the two brain hemispheres.
Explanation:
A brain can be defined as an organ of soft nerve tissue that is found in the skull of vertebrates and it's typically responsible for the coordination of nervous activities, intellect and sensation.
The human brain consists of various sections and these includes;
I. Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) which resembles a bow or collar surrounding the frontal part of the corpus callosum. This is the frontal part of the cingulate cortex which helps to make complex cognitive functions such as impulse control, decision-making, emotions and empathy.
II. Ventral prefrontal cortex in humans are interconnected with the brain and are responsible for the processing of risk, empathy, fear and social decision-making
III. The Cerebral Cortex: this part of the brain primarily comprises of grey matter, foldable sheets of neurons and forms its outermost layer. Therefore, cerebral cortex is known as the outermost layer of the brain (cerebrum) and thus, makes up half of its weight. It is about 2.5 millimeters in thickness and as such it's able to fold.
The corpus callosum is a large, thick band of C-shaped neural fibers found beneath the cerebral cortex and it's saddled with the responsibility of enabling communication between the two brain hemispheres i.e the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere.
Geologists have known for about 100 years that the Earth is composed of four layers; the Crust, the Mantle, the Outer Core, and the Inner Core .
Scientists still argue about the makeup of these layers and exactly how each layer interact with the other layers. We are not even sure how the layers were formed but we have some theories.
Because we can not go to the center of the earth we have to find our answers otherwise.
<span>This is what a geologist by the name of Andrija Mohorovicic did. He discovered in 1909 that earthquake waves near the surface moved slower than earthquake waves that passed through the interior of the Earth. He also noticed that the P (primary, first and strongest) waves that passed through the interior of the Earth did not do so in a straight line. These waves were bent or deflected by something! </span>
What the scientist knew was that waves of all kinds move faster and straighter through denser, more solid objects.
<span>So Mohorovicic came to the conclusion that the outside layer or Crust was made of less dense material (Rock) and the next layer, the Mantle was much denser. This would explain why the earthquake waves moved slower through the crust. </span>
<span>So by looking at the seismic waves from earthquakes the scientist learned about the crust and the mantle but they also learned about the outer and inner core. </span>
To do this you have to look at a different kind of waves, the S (secondary waves) waves that also get released by an earthquake. These S waves are slower.
<span>Beno Gutenberg , a German geologist, believed that the Outer Core must be made of a liquid because the slower S waves could not pass through this layer and in fact "bounced off" and were deflected many degrees off course. </span>
<span>The fourth layer, the Inner Core, is composed of very, very hot metals (iron and nickel) with pressures so great that the metals do not flow as a liquid, but are forced to vibrate in place like a solid. </span>
<span>Earthquake waves that reach this layer move at the greatest speeds because waves move through solids faster than through gases and liquids. </span>
This is how we know that there have to be different layers. Otherwise the behavior of the different seismic waves would not make sense.
