Which seismic discontinuity marks the boundary between the crust and mantle?
It is called the Mohorovicic Discontinuity, or the Moho for short.
Who is the discoverer of mohorovicic discontinuity?
Andriza Mohorovicic discovered the Mohorovicic discontinuity popularly known as Moho It is the boundary between the crust and the mantle it is about 2,880 kilometers thick. it is the thickest part of the earth's layer
The Moho barrier is the dividing line between the crust and the mantle?
moho
Who is Andrea mohorovicic?
To the best of my knowledge, he was a Croatian geologist the developed the theory of discontinuity, which means that the crust of the Earth is about 6 miles thick under the oceans and about 22 miles thick under the continents. Now called 'Moho's Discontinuity' or simply 'Moho'
What two regions of the earth does the Moho discontinuity separate?
The crust and mantle.

Who was the Moho Discontinuity named after?
The Mohorovičić Discontinuity, also called the Moho Discontinuity, was named for Andrija Mohorovičić, the Croatian seismologist who first identified it in 1909.
It separates the mantle and the crust?
The Mohorovičić discontinuity (the Moho) separates the mantle and the crust.moho
Where is the Moho locate?
The Moho, or Mohorovicic Discontinuity, is the boundary between the crust and the mantle.
What two regions of the earth did the Moho discontinuity separate?
The Moho separates the crust and the mantle.

Is the Outer Core known as the Moho?
No. The Moho, or Mohorovicic Discontinuity is the boundary between the crust and the mantle.
Moho is another word for what?
The Moho is an abbreviation of the Mohorovicic Discontinuity, the boundary between the crust and the upper mantle.

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.
What two regions of the earth does the Moho discontinuity separate?
The crust and mantle.
