Mohorovicic observed that earthquake waves were moving faster when recorded farther away than 200 km from where the earthquake started, known as the P waves. This characterisitic is due to(1 point)

is this correct

No, I apologize for the error. The correct answer is: a change in speed because of the increased density of the mantle.

only one answer the CORRECT one

I apologize for the confusion. The correct answer is: a change in speed because of the increased density of the mantle.
