उत्तर
Mohorovicic Discontinuity
Explanation:
The Mohorovicic Discontinuity (commonly known as the Moho) is the boundary between the crust and the mantle. It represents a change in the composition and physical properties of the Earth's layers, with characteristics of both the crust and the mantle. The Moho is where seismic waves change speed due to the differences in rock composition between the crust and the mantle.
