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.

Who discovered the crust mantle seismic discontinuity?

The crust-mantle seismic discontinuity was discovered by Yugoslav seismologist, Andrija Mohorovičić, in 1909 through his observation of seismic waves. This discontinuity marks the boundary between Earth's crust and mantle, characterized by a sudden increase in seismic wave velocity.

Do p waves travel through earths mantle?

Yes, P-waves (primary waves) can travel through the Earth's mantle. P-waves are a type of seismic wave that is capable of propagating through solid, liquid, and gaseous materials. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through the mantle, which is the layer between the Earth's crust and core.
