南斯拉夫地震学家莫霍洛维奇(A.Mohorovicic,1910)在研究1909年巴尔干半岛的克罗埃西亚地震时,发现在欧洲大陆下五十公里深处,地震波走时存在一明显的不连续突跳。后来证明在全球普遍存在一速度不连续界面,定义为地壳与地幔间的界面。为纪念 In its study of the Croatian earthquake in 1909 in the Balkans, A. Gorhorovicic (1910) found that there was a distinct discontinuity in seismic wave travel over the depths of 50 kilometers below the European continent. Later, it was proved that a discontinuous interface at a velocity generally prevails in the world, which is defined as the interface between the crust and the mantle. To commemorate
