Ridge-like lower mantle structure beneath South Africa
[1] Recent (ScS-S) results from probing the deep structure beneath southern Africa display strong delays of up to 10 s at distances beyond 90 . Such delays could be explained by long-period tomographic models containing smooth (weak) features with the addition of rough (strong) D00 structure (3–9% drops in shear velocities). However, these structures cannot explain the (SKS-S) differentials sam...
متن کاملTectospheric structure beneath southern Africa
P-wave and S-wave delay times from the broadband data of the southern Africa seismic experiment have been inverted to obtain three-dimensional images of velocity perturbations in the mantle beneath southern Africa. High velocity mantle roots appear to extend to depths of at least 250 km, and locally to depths of 300 km beneath the Kaapvaal and Zimbabwe cratons. Thick roots are confined to the A...
متن کاملThe Crustal Structure of Orientale and Implications for Basin
Introduction. The topography [1] and gravity [2] of the Moon are dominated by the signatures of impact basins and the mascon gravity anomalies contained within. A method of generating higher resolution crustal thickness models by utilizing the symmetry of the basins is here presented, providing a refined view of the subsurface structure of the basins, with a focus on Orientale. The crustal stru...
متن کاملthe crustal structure beneath the northwest of the zagros (kermanshah region) from teleseismic receiver functions
in this study, we used teleseismic data which was recorded by 5 stations (dhr, ghg, kom, lin and vis) of the kermanshah seismic network from 2003 to 2007 with mb?5.5 and epicentral distances from 30° to 95°. the crustal structure beneath these stations was determined by the modeling of the p receiver functions. the main phases, which were observed in our final p receiver functions, are moho con...
متن کاملApplication of very fast simulated annealing to the determination of the crustal structure beneath Tibet
The simulated annealing method has recently been applied to several multiparameter optimization problems, including those of geophysical inversion. A new variant of simulated annealing, called very fast simulated annealing (VFSA), overcomes some of the drawbacks of a conventional simulated annealing; it has been found to be a practical tool for geophysical inversion (Sen & Stoffa 1995). The met...
