Is the boundary between the liquid core and mantle known as the Moho?

No. The Moho (more correctly the Mohorovičić discontinuity) is the name given to a seismic discontinuity between the Earth's crust and mantle. The seismic discontinuity between the Earth's mantle and liquid core is known as the Gutenberg discontinuity or the CMB - Core Mantle Boundary.


Which layer of the Earth separates the crust and mantle?

The Core Mantle boundary - also known as the Guttenberg discontinuity separates the earth's mantle from its core. It is divided into two layers, the inner core and the outer core. The inner core, the center of earth, is solid and about 780 miles (1,250 km) thick. The outer core is so hot that the metal is always molten, but the inner core pressures are so great that it cannot melt, even though temperatures there reach 6700ºF (3700ºC). The outer core is about 1370 miles (2,200 km) thick. Because the earth rotates, the outer core spins around the inner core and that causes the earth's magnetism.


What the major division of the earth?

There 4 major divisions within the Earths surface: Inner core, outer core, mantle and the crust. The crust and mantle however are separated by a Moho plane.

The layer immediately beneath the Moho is the core?

False. Directly below the Moho is the mantle, as the Moho marks the boundary between the crust and the mantle.
