Q. Consider the following pairs:
- Conrad Discontinuity - between upper and lower Crust.
- Mohorovicic Discontinuity - between Outer Mantle and Inner Mantle.
- Repiti Discontinuity - between Inner mantle and Core.
- Lehman Discontinuity: Transition zone between Outer core and Inner core.
How many pairs given above is/are matched correctly?
Answer:
Only 2 pairs
Notes:
- There are five discontinuities/ Transition Zones inside the earth:
- Conrad Discontinuity: Transition zone between upper and lower Crust.
- Mohorovicic Discontinuity: Transition zone between the Crust and Mantle.
- Repiti Discontinuity: Transition zone between Outer mantle and Inner mantle.
- Gutenberg Discontinuity: Transition zone between Mantle and Core.
- Lehman Discontinuity: Transition zone between Outer core and Inner core.
