The boundary between the Earth's crust and outer mantle is known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity, or Moho. It is typically located around 5 to 10 kilometers below the oceanic crust and around 20 to 90 kilometers below the continental crust. At the Moho, there is a significant increase in seismic wave velocity, indicating a change in composition and density between the crust and mantle.
