<P> Named after the pioneering Croatian seismologist Andrija Mohorovičić , the Moho separates both the oceanic crust and continental crust from underlying mantle. The Mohorovičić discontinuity was first identified in 1909 by Mohorovičić , when he observed that seismograms from shallow - focus earthquakes had two sets of P - waves and S - waves , one that followed a direct path near the Earth 's surface and the other refracted by a high - velocity medium . </P>
