Mohorovičić discontinuity

He is best known as the eponym for the Mohorovičić discontinuity.

Between the crust and the mantle is the Mohorovičić discontinuity.

It is not as pronounced as the Mohorovičić discontinuity, and absent in some continental regions.

He is best known for the eponymous Mohorovičić discontinuity and is considered a founder of modern seismology.

This is now called the Mohorovičić discontinuity or (because of the complexity of that name) Moho.

The Moho, properly called the Mohorovičić discontinuity, is the boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle.

They discover a technologically advanced world of genetically engineered, physically near-perfect humans living comfortably in an enclosed city within the Mohorovičić discontinuity.

First, there is a discontinuity in the seismic velocity, which is known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity or Moho.

The boundary between the crust and mantle is conventionally placed at the Mohorovičić discontinuity, a boundary defined by a contrast in seismic velocity.

Magmatic underplating occurs when basaltic magmas are trapped during their rise to the surface at the Mohorovičić discontinuity or within the crust.

Unable to find a suitable extrasolar planet to move to in time, the first generation humans decided to instead move into the Mohorovičić discontinuity, shielding themselves from extinction.

Some geologists think the boundary between pyroxenites and lherzolites, that is also found in outcrops in the Ivrea zone, represents the Mohorovičić discontinuity (the Moho).

The real Project Mohole was an American project to sink a bore-hole through 5000 metres of the Earth's crust into the Mohorovičić discontinuity or "Moho".

Project Mohole was an ambitious attempt to drill through the Earth's crust into the Mohorovičić discontinuity, and to provide an Earth science complement to the high-profile Space Race.

Modeling of data brought on by studies of the British Isles shows that a large amount of high velocity material occurs around the Mohorovičić discontinuity under the Irish Sea.

The seismic velocity structure of the crust in this region is transitional between typical oceanic and continental profiles and the Mohorovičić discontinuity (Moho) appears to lie at about 20 km.

Subduction is a process that occurs in the Earth's mantle, separated from the Earth's crust by the Mohorovičić discontinuity, or Moho, a roughly spherical natural boundary 5-10 km deep.

Asher tells him that 20 months ago, an ocean drilling oil rig received a signal coming from the Mohorovičić discontinuity and that the US military is trying to find out what the source was.

It depresses the boundary of the crust and the mantle (Mohorovičić discontinuity, commonly Moho) to depths greater than 40 kilometres as against a figure at the top of the continental shelf of about thirty and less than fifteen below oceanic depths.
