It's the Mohorovic Discontinuity, the boundary between the crust and the mantle.
Explanation:
Scientists are not sure exactly what the Moho really is, but seismic evidence suggests that there is a change in the composition of the bedrock. At the high pressures deep inside the Earth, different minerals and therefore different rocks become stable, so such a change in composition is quite plausible.
