    Linked via "seismograph stations"

    Discovery and Initial Definition
    Mohorovičić's seminal work's seminal work involved analyzing earthquake records and noticing that P-waves arriving at distant seismograph stations had traveled along a path that included a shallower, slower layer and a deeper, significantly faster layer. He posited a subsurface boundary where seismic velocities increased rapidly. Initial calculations suggested a velocity jump from approximately $6.7 \text{ km/s}$ i…
