The top of the mantle is defined by a sudden increase in seismic velocity, which was first noted by Andrija Mohorovičić in 1909; this boundary is now referred to as the "Mohorovicic discontinuity" or "Moho". Its depth ranges from about 5 km beneath the ocean floor to about 35 km below the continent, although it may reach 60 km or more under some mountain ranges.
What else can I help you with?
The lower boundary of Earth's crust is called?
Moho
What place within the earth where the speed of seismic waves increases sharply?
The Moho
Which part of an egg compares to the moho?
The final section of the Earth might be compared to the yolk of the egg
Which layer of the sun can be seen from earth?
The photosphere is the layer of the sub that can be seen from earth.
What layer of gases surrounds the earth?
The awnser is atmosphere. It surrounds the earth protecting the life on earth. Thank you for using this Awner.
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!
What layer of earth moves the crust?
moho barrier?
Who was 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).
What is the Moho's depth below earth surface?
The Moho, or Mohorovičić discontinuity, is typically found at a depth of about 5-70 kilometers (3-43 miles) below the Earth's surface. It marks the boundary between the Earth's crust and the underlying mantle.
Which two Earth layers are separated by the Moho boundary?
The Moho boundary separates the Earth's crust from the mantle. It marks the boundary between the Earth's rigid outer layer (crust) and the underlying, more ductile layer (mantle).
The layer immediately beneath the Moho is the core?
The core is actually located beneath the Earth's mantle. The layer immediately beneath the Moho is the Earth's mantle, which is a region of hot, flowing rock that lies between the crust and the outer core.
What is The layer immediately beneath the Moho called?
The Moho , short for Mohorovicic discontinuity , is about 7 kilometers below the floor of the ocean and the MANTLE is the layer immediately beneath the Moho !
What layer is MOHO directly above?
The Mohorovičić discontinuity (MOHO) is located between the Earth's crust and mantle, making it directly above the Earth's crust.
Is Moho barrier the thinnest layer?
No, the Moho (Mohorovičić discontinuity) is not the thinnest layer of the Earth. It is located between the Earth's crust and mantle and typically ranges from 5 to 10 kilometers in thickness. The Earth's crust is generally thinner, especially in oceanic areas where it can be as thin as 5 kilometers.
Is the lithosphere and asthenosphere boundary above or below the Moho?
The boundary between the asthenosphere and the lithosphere is normally below the Moho (which marks the boundary between the crust and the mantle). The exception to this is below mid-ocean ridges where the moho and the lithosphere / asthenosphere boundary are at the same depth.
Is the Outer Core known as the Moho?
No, the Outer Core is not known as the Moho. The Moho, short for Mohorovicic Discontinuity, is the boundary between the Earth's crust and mantle, while the Outer Core is a layer of molten iron and nickel that surrounds the Earth's solid inner core.
What are the layers of the Earth in order starting at the outermost layer and going inward Core Mantle layer with more convection Moho barrier Mantle layer with less convection?
