Interactive Moho discontinuity, the boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle Moho, Puno, a city in Peru Moho District, Peru Moho Province, Peru Moho River...

mantle by the change in chemical composition that takes place at the Moho discontinuity. The oldest parts of continental lithosphere underlie cratons, and...

Serpentinization at slow spreading mid-ocean ridges can cause the seismic Moho discontinuity to be placed at the serpentinization front, rather than the base of...

discovered and defined the Mohorovičić discontinuity. Usually referred to as the "Moho discontinuity" or the "Moho," it is the boundary between the Earth's...

Pacific Plate in the Hikurangi subduction zone. In this region the Moho discontinuity starts about 25–30 km (16–19 mi) beneath the surface beyond the modern...

Understanding how magma is transported from great depths near the Moho discontinuity to the surface has implications for understanding the mechanics of...

into the structure and origin of the Earth's crust, through to the Moho discontinuity and beyond, at depths of up to 100 km. A method similar to reflection...

back-arc basins, the Tyrrhenian basin displays a shallowing of the Moho discontinuity towards the central part of the basin, a Wadati Benioff zone, abnormally...

1909; this boundary is now referred to as the Mohorovičić discontinuity or "Moho." The Moho defines the base of the crust and varies from 10 km (6.2 mi)...

through the Earth's crust to obtain samples of the Mohorovičić discontinuity, or Moho, the boundary between the Earth's crust and mantle. The project...

through the discontinuity. Receiver functions use Snell's law refraction of P waves and converted S waves to estimate the depth of the Moho. They are only...

Mohorovičić discontinuity is a distinct change of seismic wave velocity. This is caused by a change in the rock's density – Immediately above the Moho, the velocities...
