What is the moho discontinuity state of matter?

Answer 1

The Mohorovicic Discontinuity is a discontinuity in the composition of solid rock, but it is indeed solid on both sides.

The boundary between the mantle and the crust, sometimes referred to as the "Moho" for short, is solid at the top and liquid below, with a different mineral makeup.

Andrija Mohorovicic discovered this discontinuity in 1909; we detect it in the solid rock through seismic wave measurements, which demonstrate the waves being reflected and refracted by the discontinuity.

The Mohorovičić discontinuity, also called the Moho, is the boundary between the Earth's crust and mantle. Named for the Croatian seismologist Andrija Mohorovičić, who first recognized its significance in 1909, it marks a significant change in seismic wave velocities, indicating the transition from the less dense crust to the denser mantle beneath it.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
