Discovered in the aftermath of a 1909 earthquake, it was later found that P-wave velocity increases to more than eight kilometers per second at this point.
It most likely resulted from a difference in rock structure due to plagioclase feldspar. Discovered in the aftermath of a 1909 earthquake, it was later found that P-wave velocity increases to more than eight kilometers per second at this point. Lying anywhere from five to eight kilometers beneath the oceanic crust, this is, for 10 points, what boundary that divides the earth's crust and mantle, discovered by a namesake Croatian seismologist?
