Since the late 1970s studies of the oceanic crust using airgun sources and towed
hydrophone arrays have been conducted in a wide range of ocean basin settings including …

The continental Mohorovicic discontinuity is most often interpreted as a step‐function
velocity boundary. However, on deep crustal seismic reflection profiles, reflections, at depths …

The characteristics of the oceanic Moho are known to depend on various factors, such as
seafloor spreading rate, crustal age, and accretionary processes at a ridge. However, the …

The crust/mantle boundary, ie the Mohorovicic, or simply Moho, discontinuity represents the
major petrological boundary between the continental crust and upper mantle. Referring to …

The seismic signature of the Moho from which geologic and tectonic evolution hypotheses
are derived is to a large degree a result of the seismic methodology which has been used to …

The available experimental data and steady‐state calculations make it difficult to explain the
M discontinuity beneath both oceans and continents on the basis of the same phase …

Several notable papers have been published recently that review our knowledge of the
seismic structure of oceanic crust (eg Christensen and Salisbury, 1975; Tréhu and others …

The continental Mohorovičić discontinuity (Moho) has been recognized worldwide from
refracted (Pn) and wide‐angle reflected (PmP) phases from earthquake and explosive …

We investigate the origin and character of oceanic Moho reflections by computing two‐
dimensional synthetic seismogram profiles of the inferred fossil oceanic crust/mantle …

Strong wide-angle reflections from the Moho were recorded by ocean-bottom seismic
instruments during the 1988 Carolina Trough multichannel seismic experiment, in an area …
