The Mohorovicic discontinuity, or Moho, the first major boundary of the earth's interior, separates the crust from the underlying mantle. |
Note the Moho near 1000 km in each frame, which was thinned by extension prior to the onset of sea-floor spreading. |
Moho, or Mohorovičić discontinuity, boundary between the Earth's crust and its mantle. |
We suggest that primitive magmas ascending from the mantle are normally trapped in magma chamber complexes situated at or near the Moho. |
The exhibition will be organized by the staff of Moho Association, in cooperation with the competent jury. |
The sharp boundary between the crust and mantle is called the Mohorovicic discontinuity or Moho. |
