  1. Crust Upper Mantle asthenosphere 1050 Km Moho Gutenburg 2900 Km Inner Core 0 Km 6371Km 5000Km Outer Core Lower Mantle Moho boundary is between 25 and 60 km deep beneath the continents and between 5 and 8 km deep beneath the ocean floor.

  2. Moho. The boundary between the crust and the mantle in the earth. This is a depth where seismic waves change velocity and there is also a change in chemical composition. Also termed the Mohorovicic' discontinuity after the Croatian seismologist Andrija Mohorovicic' (1857-1936) who discovered it. The boundary is between 25 and 60 km deep beneath the continents and between 5 and 8 km deep beneath the ocean floor.
