Solution
The Moho discontinuity is the boundary between the Earth’s crust and the mantle. It has been named so because it was discovered by a Croatian scientist, Andreaja Mohorovicic. This boundary marks a change in seismic-wave velocity from the crust to the uppermost mantle within the (lithospheric) plate.
