The Mohorovičić discontinuity, also known as the Moho, is the boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle. It is named after the Croatian seismologist Andrija Mohorovičić, who discovered it in 1909. The Moho marks the transition zone where seismic waves change speed due to the contrasting properties of the crust and mantle.
