Explanation:

Mohorovicic is the seismic boundary between the lower crust on the upper mantle of the earth. Its presence is indicated by the sudden increase in velocity of the primary and secondary waves. It was first established by Mohorovicic, a Yugoslavian seismologist in 1909 and is known as Mohorovicic Discontinuity after his name.
