What two regions of the earth did the Moho discontinuity separate?
The Moho separates the crust and the mantle.
What are the two layers of discontinuity that are part of the interior structure of earth?
discontinuity
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 earth contains the mohorovicic discontinuity?
Crust
The Gutenberg Discontinuity is found directly above this layer of the earth.?
The Gutenberg discontinuity is found directly above the outer core.
What two regions of the earth does the Moho discontinuity separate?
The crust and mantle.
What two regions of the earth did the Moho discontinuity separate?
The Moho separates the crust and the mantle.
What two regions of the earth does the Gutenberg discontinuity separate?
lower mantle from upper core
What boundaries separate the earth's crust with the upper mantle?
mohorocivic discontinuity or moho
Does the Moho barrier separate the earth's crust and mantle?
Yes. It is called the Mohorovicic Discontinuity, where seismic waves increase in velocity.

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.

Crust
The Gutenberg Discontinuity is found directly above this layer of the earth.?
The Gutenberg discontinuity is found directly above the outer core.
The Gutenberg Discontinuity is found beneath this layer?
The Gutenberg Discontinuity is found above the earth layer called the outer core. This boundary line, which separates the outer core from the lower mantle, is approximately 1798 miles below the Earth's surface.
Who discovered the earth core?
The distinction of the solid inner core from the liquid outer core of Earth was discovered in 1936 by Inge Lehmann. Inge Lehmann is a seismologist.
Is the inner core big?
The inner core has a radius of 1220 kmA extending from the centre of the Earth approximately 6370 km below Earth's surface to 5150 km below the surface (the change from inner to outer core is marked by a density change known as the Lehmann discontinuity). The inner core has a total volume of 7.4207x109 km3.
