Conrad discontinuity
text:
The Conrad discontinuity corresponds to the sub-horizontal boundary in the continental crust at which the seismic wave velocity increases in a discontinuous way. This boundary is observed in various continental regions at a depth of 15 to 20 km, but it is not found in oceanic regions. The Conrad discontinuity is considered to be the border between the upper continental crust and the lower one. It is not as pronounced as the Mohorovičić discontinuity and absent in some continental regions. Up to
