The propagation of seismic waves through the Earth's interior provides evidence of internal layering the first boundary discovered was the boundary between the?
mantle and crust
What is the lower boundary of crust?
Upper Mantle.
What is the name given to the top portion of the Earth's mantle?
The boundary between the crust and the mantle is called the Mohorovicic discontinuity. It is also called simply the Moho and it is the abrupt divide between faster and slower speeds where the mantle starts.
What is the difference between the Mohorovicic discontinuity and the Gutenberg discontinuity?
They mark the boundaries of differing layers of the Earth. The Moho marks the boundary between the crust and the mantle, whereas the Gutenberg discontinuity marks the boundary between the mantle and outer core.
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
Who is the Yugoslavian scientist discovered separation between crust and mantle?
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
Is the boundary between the crust and upper mantle?
The boundary between the crust and the upper mantle is called the Mohorovičić discontinuity, commonly known as the Moho.
What is the moho barrier for?
It is between the Crust and the upper mantle

mantle and crust
Boundary between earth's crust and mantle?
It is called the Mohorovičić discontinuity or the Moho for short.It was one of the fist features of the Earth's interior that was discovered using seismic waves. In 1909, Andrija Mohorovicic discovered this boundary and it was named in his honor.
What is the boundary between the crust and the lithosphere?
The crust is part of the lithosphere, so there is no boundary between them. There is a boundary between the crust and the other part of the lithosphere which is the uppermost mantle. It is called the Mohorovicic Discontinuity or the 'Moho' for short.
What term refers to the boundary between the crust and the mantle?
This is known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity. This is often shortened to Moho. It was one of the first features of the Earth's interior that was discovered using seismic waves. In 1909, Andrija Mohorovicic discovered this boundary and it was named in his honor.
What does moho stand for?
"moho" is the plate boundary between earth's crust and the mantle.
Where is the Moho locate?
The Moho, or Mohorovicic Discontinuity, is the boundary between the crust and the mantle.
What is the boundary of the moho layer and the mantle?
ummm hello! its just the moho layer! the moho layer is the boundary between the mantle and the crust!there is absolutely no boundary between the moho layer and the mantle! you think i am wrong? then drill to the moho layer and find out!
Does the moho cause volcanic eruptions?
No. The Moho is simply the boundary between the mantle and the crust.
MOHO?
A boundary separating the crust from the mantle.
