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


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.

Which seismic discontinuity forms the boundary between the crust and the mantle?

The sometimes magnesium rich Mohorovičić discontinuity, which often is called simply 'Moho', forms the boundary between the basalt rich crust and the planet's underlying, iron rich mantle.


Which seismic discontinuity marks the boundary between the crust and mantle?

The Mohorovičić discontinuity, also known as the Moho, marks the boundary between the Earth's crust and mantle. It is identified by a sudden increase in seismic wave velocities, indicating a change in rock density and composition at this boundary.


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 two regions of the earth does the Moho discontinuity separate?

The Mohorovičić discontinuity (Moho) separates the Earth's crust from the underlying mantle. It is found beneath continents and beneath ocean basins.
