It is between the Crust and the upper mantle
One unique characteristic of the Moho (Mohorovičić discontinuity) is that it represents the boundary between Earth's crust and mantle, marking a significant change in seismic wave velocities. This boundary is known for its sharp transition from the less dense crust to the denser mantle layer.

The Mohorovicic Discontinuity (also known as the Moho) separates the Earth's crust from the underlying mantle. It is the boundary where seismic waves change speed, indicating a change in composition and density between the two layers.
Crust, Moho (lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary), mantle, core.
The Moho barrier, or Mohorovičić discontinuity, is postulated based on the observed change in seismic wave velocities at a certain depth beneath the Earth's surface. This change in velocity indicates a boundary between the Earth's crust and mantle, suggesting differences in composition and physical properties. Scientists use this boundary to study the Earth's internal structure and tectonic processes.

Yes. It is called the Mohorovicic Discontinuity, where seismic waves increase in velocity.

FeaR is MoHo
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.
