摘要：
The research vessel RV Maurice Ewing was recently 'retired' (http://tinyurl.com/ejjz3), but data from an earlier voyage have been used to prepare remarkable seismic reflection images of the Mohorovicic discontinuity or Moho, the boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle. Three-dimensional images from the 9° N overlapping spreading centre at the East Pacific Rise, suggest that the Moho is formed just beneath the ridge axis at zero-age. These images throw new light on the evolution of ocean spreading centres and the formation of the lower crust.
