Definition of Mohorovičić discontinuity in English:

Mohorovičić discontinuity

noun ˌməʊhəˌrəʊvɪtʃɪtʃ ˌdɪskɒntɪˈnjuːɪti

Geology

The boundary surface between the earth's crust and the mantle, lying at a depth of about 10–12 km under the ocean bed and 40–50 km under the continents.
〔地质〕莫霍洛维奇不连续面，莫霍界面
Example sentencesExamples
- Wide-angle reflection and refraction seismic data can be used to image the Mohorovicic discontinuity and provide information on the velocity structure and physical properties of the crust.
- The sharp boundary between the crust and mantle is called the Mohorovicic discontinuity or Moho.
- These values suggest that the Mohorovicic discontinuity remains relatively deep, 40 to 45 km, beneath western half of the transect.
- This seismic boundary is known as the Mohorovicic discontinuity.
- The Mohorovicic discontinuity, or Moho, the first major boundary of the earth's interior, separates the crust from the underlying mantle.

Origin

1930s: named after Andrija Mohorovičić (1857–1936), Yugoslav seismologist.
