The 15 pages that link to Mohorovičić discontinuity, each with the reason it gives.

• Oceanic crustRelated: This boundary marks the base of oceanic crust.

• LithosphereRelated: It marks the compositional boundary inside the lithosphere, not its base.

• Seismic waveRelated: Andrija Mohorovičić identified it from contrasting arrivals of earthquake waves.

• SeismologyRelated: Found when Mohorovičić noticed two arrivals of the same P-wave in 1909.

• Continental crustRelated: This boundary marks the base of continental crust, though its depth varies.

• Earth's mantleRelated: This seismic boundary marks the mantle's upper edge beneath both continents and oceans.

• PeridotiteRelated: Peridotite commonly lies beneath this boundary in oceanic and continental lithosphere.

• AsthenosphereRelated: Crust–mantle boundary sits above the asthenosphere but does not coincide with its top.

• Mantle wedgeRelated: The wedge's upper limit is the Moho beneath the overriding plate.

• Oceanic lithosphereRelated: It separates oceanic crust from the mantle portion of the lithosphere.

• Earth's crustRelated: This boundary defines the crust’s lower limit in seismic studies.

• Upper mantleRelated: The upper mantle begins beneath this crust–mantle boundary.

• Internal structure of EarthRelated: This discontinuity locates the compositional transition beneath the crust.
