Page 84 By studying records of shock waves created by earthquake, Andrija Mohorovocic (pronounced moh hoh ROH vuh chich) discovered in 1909 that there is a distinct "acoustic boundary" between the crust and mantle of the earth.
for Richard Carlson; i am wondering whether when a large meteorite hits earth if the seismic waves going through Earth causes new faults or breaks the tectonic plates on the opposite side of Earth? P waves travel through, so why shouldn't they be strong enough to break crust?
One of the best presentations on continental crust.
