Stjepan Mohorovičić was a Croatian seismologist and meteorologist, best known for his discovery of the Mohorovičić discontinuity, commonly referred to as the "Moho." This is the boundary between the Earth's crust and the underlying mantle. His work in the early 20th century significantly advanced the understanding of Earth's internal structure. The Moho represents a distinct change in seismic wave velocities and is an important concept in geology.
