PASADENA, California, Nov. 27 -- The California Institute of Technology issued the following news:
Caltech researchers have developed a new method to study the earth's structure deep beneath the surface, at the boundary between Earth's brittle crust and the underlying mantle, a region called the Mohorovicic discontinuity--Moho for short. Like taking an ultrasound, the method measures how seismic waves from earthquakes are reflected off of the Moho and utilizes cutting-edge . . .
