Moho discontinuity is a geological discontinuity under Earth's crust at which seismic waves change velocity under acceleration..
Explanation:
Croatian Seismologist Andrija Mohorovicic discovered this discontinuity in his seismic-shock research.
This Moho is detected at about 8 km down the sea-bottom and at about 32 km beneath land surface.
Moho discontinuity is the discontinuity between rocks of the Earth's crust and the related but different rocke of the mantle.
