What is the significance of the Mohorovičić discontinuity (Moho), and how is it detected?
The Moho is the boundary between the Earth’s crust and the mantle. It is significant because it marks a change in seismic wave velocity. It is detected using seismic waves, which change speed as they pass through different layers of the Earth.
