The boundary between the mantle and crust is known as the Mohorovicic discontinuity (also called the Moho). It separates the lighter rocks of the crust with an average density of approximately 2.8 g/cm^3 from the denser rocks of the mantle below It.

the Moho is the division between the crust and the upper (solid) part of the mantle - together those two sections belong to a layer called the Lithosphere. Below that is the Aesthenosphere which is the uppermost liquid part of the mantle. The depth to the Moho varies, it is ~8 km under the ocean and much deeper (~32 km) under the continents.
