Discontinuitas Mohoroviciciana







Ophiolites Ordovicianus in Reservatione Civitatis Gros Morne, Newfoundlandiae. Hoc saxum, per Moho conformatum, in superficie exponitur.




Littera A discontinuitatem Mohorovicic in promptu ponit.


Discontinuitas Mohoroviciciana, sive Discontinuitas Mohorovičić, vulgo Moho, est finis qui crustas telluris oceanicas continentalesque ab amiculo separat. Discontinuitas circa 5 chiliometra sub alveo oceani et fere 30 ad 50 km sub continentes iacetur; altissumum est sub Planitie Tibetana, ubi circa 75 km sub superficie demergitur. Discontinuitas igitur maximam partem in lithosphaera iacet; solum finem inter lithosphaeram et asthenosphaeram sub iugum medium oceanicum definit.


Haec discontinuitas primum reperta est anno 1909, ab Andrea Mohorovičić, seismologo Croatiano, cum auctum abruptum velocitatis undarum terraemotum (diserte undarum P) observaret. Ophiolites sunt sectiones crustae oceanicae et fortasse saxi amiculi quae in crustam continentalem per concursūs patellarum obductae sunt.
