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.
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.
What divides the mantle and the core?
The boundary between the mantle and the outer core is a layer known as D". It is a thermal and chemical boundary where a change in speed of seismic waves has been noted.
What is the zone from the base of the asthenosphere to the boundary of the mantle and core?
The mesosphere is the zone from the base of the asthenosphere to the boundary of the earth's mantle and core.
What is the gutenburg discontinuity?
The Gutenberg Discontinuity, is the boundary, as detected by changes in seismic waves, between the Earth's lower mantle and the outer core about 1800 miles below the surface.It is also called the core-mantle boundary.
What the boundary between the core and mantle?
The boundary of mantle and core are called Gutenberg Discontinuity

What is boundary between the mantle and outer core?
Gutenburg Discontinuity
The liquid layer of earths core between mantle and inner core?
Gutenburg Discontinuity
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.
What is the temperature at the boundary between the mantle and the outer core?
90 degrees
What divides the mantle and the core?
The boundary between the mantle and the outer core is a layer known as D". It is a thermal and chemical boundary where a change in speed of seismic waves has been noted.
Where are you if you are at the Gutenberg Discontinuity?
The Gutenberg Discontinuity, is the boundary, as detected by changes in seismic waves, between the Earth's lower mantle and the outer core about 1800 miles below the surface. It is also called the core-mantle boundary.
Do hot spots begin at the boundary between the mantle and the outer core?
yes!

The area from the base of the asthenosphere to the mantle-core boundary is known as?
This region is known as the mesosphere. The base of the mesosphere includes the D'' (D double prime) layer which is sometimes considered to be a transition zone between the mantle and the core-mantle boundary zone.
