The Croatian seismologist Andrija Mohorovicic.
Andrija_Mohorovičić (1857-1936) was a Croatian seismologist and meteorologist who theorized the boundary layer between the Earth's crust and its mantle, now known as the Mohorovicic Discontinuity (aka Moho).
Andrija_Mohorovičić, a Croatian seismologist (1857-1936), first theorized the boundary layer between the Earth's crust and its mantle, now known as the Mohorovicic Discontinuity (aka Moho). The layer was identified by changes in the propagation of waves generated by seismic events.
The boundary between the crust and mantle is called the Mohorovicic discontinuity (or Moho); it is named in honor of the man who discovered it, the Croatian scientist Andrija Mohorovicic
The project was suggested in March 1957 by Walter Munk, a NAS member (1956) and member of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Earth Science Panel. Andrija Mohorovicic a Croatian geologist discovered that there was an area, known as the "moho". The Moho was named for Andrija Mohorovicic, who first proposed the existence of such a discontinuity.
