Abstract
Three Moho models are investigated in order to fix one previous to tomographic inversion. Gravimetric Chambat-Valette model, three dimensional velocity model and gravimetric satellite research were used in the Ecuador region. A final assembly of the best characteristics of three models is presented as a result.
