Between the Earth's crust and outer mantle is a thin boundary region known as the Mohorovičić Discontinuity; scientists usually refer to it as "the Moho". The precise composition and physical nature of the Moho is not known, but it is identifiable by a distinct physical behavior; earthquake P-waves abruptly increase velocity at this boundary. This physical discontinuity was first identified in 1909 by Andrija Mohorovičić of Croatia. The Mojo lies an average depth of 7 km (4.3 miles) beneath the ocean floors, and 30 to 75 km (18 to 46 miles) beneath the continental surfaces. There have been plans and attempts to drill through the Earth's crust to reach the Mojo, but none have been successful up to this point; the research continues.
What else can I help you with?
What is the thick layer of earths interior that lies between the crust and the core?
the mantle, which contains the lithosphere, asthenosphere and the mesosphere
Is the asthenosphere the thinnest layer?
No. The mantle is below the crust (what we live on), which is the thinnest layer of the earth.
Is the asthenosphere a plastic layer of rock in the mantle or is it a layer of earths crust and mantle?
The asthenosphere is a plastic layer of rock located in the upper mantle, below the lithosphere (earth's crust and uppermost mantle). It is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates due to its partially molten and ductile nature.
What is the layer between Earth's core and the crust?
The mantle.
Where is the mantle located in the calm?
The mantle is that part of the Earth between the crust and the outer core. It's upper boundary is at the base of the crust at a depth below the surface which can vary between 7 and 35 km. It extends all the way to the Earth's outer core at a depth of around 2890 km.the Earths mantle is located between the crust and outer core of the Earth. it is the thickest layer.
The layer of rock between earths crust and core?
its called the mantle
The Earths second layer found between the crust and the core?
It is the mantle.
What Layer of hot and solid material between the crust and Earths core?
It is the Mantle.
Name the thick layer of earths interior that lies between the crust and the core?
The mantle
What is the layer of the rock beneath the earths crust?
mantle
What are earths 3 layer?
Crust, Mantle and Core
What is the thickness of the earths mantle?
The earths mantle is one of the four major layers, laying between the crust and the outer core. At 2885 kilometers, it is the thickest layer.
What layer is the layer of rock between the earths crust and core?
There are several layers between the outer core and the crust mainly combined into one and called the Mantle.
What are earths main layer?
Crust, mantle, and inner core.
What layer is the thickest of earths crust?
The answer is Continental crust.The Mantle is the thickest layer of the Earth. :)
What is the thick layer of earths interior that lies between the crust and the core?
the mantle, which contains the lithosphere, asthenosphere and the mesosphere
Is the asthenosphere the thinnest layer?
No. The mantle is below the crust (what we live on), which is the thinnest layer of the earth.
