7 0

Answer:

The Moho is the boundary between the crust and the mantle in the earth. Also termed the Mohorovicic' discontinuity after the Croatian seismologist Andrija Mohorovicic' (1857-1936) who discovered it. The boundary is between 25 and 60 km deep beneath the continents and between 5 and 8 km deep beneath the ocean floor.

The Mohorovičić discontinuity usually referred to as the Moho discontinuity or the Moho, is the boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle. It is defined by the distinct change in velocity of seismological waves as they pass through changing densities of rock.

He artic and the antarctic has different variations of day and night do you agree
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The Arctic and Antarctic have the same variations of day and night, but they are in opposite parts of the year.

Explanation:

The Arctic is the region at and around the Northern Pole, while the Antarctic is the continent at and around the Southern Pole. These are the two coldest areas on Earth, and even in what is considered summer the temperatures are very low. They have a lot of similarities but also some differences.

One feature that falls in both categories, similarity, and difference, are the variations of day and night. The similarity is in the fact that both regions experience sunlight constantly for half a year, and then experience night constantly for half a year. The difference though is in the fact that they occur in opposite parts of the year. When the Arctic has half a year of light, the Antarctic has half a year of night and vice versa, and this is due to the tilted axis of Earth.
