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.

How far is the mantle away from the crust of the earth?

The mantle is located directly beneath the Earth's crust and is approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) thick. The boundary between the crust and the mantle is known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity or Moho.


What does moho stand for?

"moho" is the plate boundary between earth's crust and the mantle.


What is the moho in the earths layers?

The Moho, short for Mohorovičić discontinuity, is a boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle. It marks a significant change in seismic wave velocities, indicating the transition from the less dense, rigid crust to the more dense, flowing mantle beneath.


Is the boundary between the crust and upper mantle?

The boundary between the crust and upper mantle is known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity or Moho. It represents the change in seismic wave velocity and composition between the rigid outer layer (crust) and the more ductile layer beneath (mantle).

Who discovered the boundary between the crust and the mantle?

The boundary between the crust and the mantle was discovered by Croatian seismologist Andrija Mohorovičić in 1909. This boundary is known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity or "Moho" and marks the change in seismic wave velocities between the Earth's crust and 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.


Where is the Moho locate?

The Moho, or Mohorovicic Discontinuity, is the boundary between the crust and the 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).
