The Mohorovičić discontinuity is the boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle. It marks the boundary between the solid outer layers of the Earth's lithosphere (crust) and the underlying solid mantle. Named after the Croatian seismologist Andrija Mohorovičić, it is characterized by a change in seismic wave velocities.
