We present a theoretical analysis of Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer data of Z source GX 340+0 obtained by Jonker et al. In the frameworks of the recently formulated the transition layer model the delta-angle is an angle between the neutron star (NS) magnetospheric axis and the disk (presumably NS rotational) axis.We determine the angle delta=6^o.3+/- 0.^o 3 which is a combination of the simultaneously observed kHz QPO and HBO frequencies. While these three frequencies change by a factor of three or more their delta-combination stays almost constant. GX 340+0 is the fourth source (in addition to 4U 0614+09, Sco X-1 and 4U 1702-42) for which delta-angle has been determined. With at most one (constrained) parameter we make a complete classification of six observed power spectral features, including the two kHz frequencies, the first and second harmonics of the HBO frequency, low-frequency noise component and break frequencies. We demonstrate that a new component discovered by Jonker et al. in the GX 340+0 power spectrum is related to the viscous frequency branch which has been, in fact reported earlier in 4U 1728-34 by Ford and van der Klis (1998). Finally, we re-classify several previously misidentified features in the power spectrum.
