The sometimes magnesium rich Mohorovi?i? discontinuity, which often is called simply 'Moho', separates the earth's crust and the cooler part of the planet's mantle.

Is earths mantle hotter or cooler than the crust?

The mantle is hotter than the crust.


Where are the cool and hot regions of the mantle located?

Cool regions of the mantle are typically found near the Earth's surface, while hot regions are deeper within the mantle. The boundary between the two is known as the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary, which separates the cooler, rigid lithosphere from the hotter, more ductile asthenosphere.


Is the earths core cooler than the crust and mantle?

No, the core is hotter.


What is the surface that separates the core from mantle?

The boundary that separates the Earth's core from the mantle is known as the core-mantle boundary (CMB). It lies approximately 2,900 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface and marks the transition between the solid inner core and the molten outer core.


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).


What two regions of the earth did the Moho discontinuity separate?

The Moho separates the crust and the mantle.


What is the boundary between mantle and core?

The boundary between the mantle and the core is called the core-mantle boundary and also The Gutenberg Discontinuity which marks the upper boundary of the D'' (D Double Prime) layer.


What is the boundary between the mantel and core?

The boundary between the mantle and core is known as the core-mantle boundary. It lies approximately 2,900 kilometers below the Earth's surface. This boundary separates the molten iron-nickel outer core from the solid iron-nickel inner core.


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.


The Gutenberg Discontinuity is found beneath this layer?

The Gutenberg Discontinuity is found above the earth layer called the outer core. This boundary line, which separates the outer core from the lower mantle, is approximately 1798 miles below the Earth's surface.


It separates the mantle and the crust?

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.
