Which two Earth layers are separated by the Moho boundary?
Answer (3)
The Moho boundary separates the the Earth's mantle and Earth's crust . The Moho boundary denotes the depth ( 22 mi (35 km) below continents) where seismic waves change their velocity and chemical composition. The name Moho comes from Mohorovičić, Croatian seismologist who established this boundary and discontinuity.
The two Earth layers separated by the Moho boundary are the crust and the mantle.
The Moho boundary, also known as the MohorovičićDiscontinuity (Moho), is the boundary between the crust and the mantle. It was discovered by Andrija Mohorovičić in 1909.
This boundary exhibits a significant change in seismic velocity, indicating the transition between the rigid uppermost layer (crust) and the molten rock layer (mantle) beneath it.
The Moho boundary, or Mohorovičić Discontinuity, separates the Earth's crust from the mantle. Discovered by Andrija Mohorovičić in 1909, it is characterized by a change in seismic wave velocity at a depth of about 5 km under oceans and 30-40 km beneath continents. This boundary indicates a significant difference in composition and density between the two layers.
