Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Moho (Mohorovicic discontinuity) is the boundary between the Earth's crust and mantle. It is not uniformly located around the Earth but varies in depth, ranging from about 5-10 km below the ocean floor to about 30-50 km below continental crust. Therefore, it lies at greater depth under continents than under oceans.
