Crustal thickness beneath the Andes and Sierras Pampeanas at 30 S inferred from Pn apparent phase velocities
[1] We obtained a 2D crustal model beneath central Chile and western Argentina using apparent Pn phase velocities recorded along an EW trending transect at 30 S. This model is characterized by a thick (65 km) crustal root beneath the High Cordillera, a 60 km thick crust beneath the Precordillera, and a gradual shallowing of Moho depths beneath the Sierras Pampeanas from 55 km in the west to 40 ...
متن کاملAn integrated crustal velocity field for the central Andes
[1] Abstract: We present an integrated velocity field for the central Andes, derived from GPS observations collected between January 1993 and March 2001 that eliminates the velocity bias between the South America-Nazca Plate Project (SNAPP) and central Andes GPS Project (CAP) velocity fields published by Norabuena et al. [1998] and Bevis et al. [1999]. The reference frame is realized by minimiz...
متن کاملCrustal structure and evolution beneath the Colorado Plateau and the southern Basin and Range Province: Results from receiver function and gravity studies
[1] Over the past several decades, contrasting models have been proposed for the physical and chemical processes responsible for the uplift and long‐term stability of the Colorado Plateau (CP) and crustal thinning beneath the Basin and Range Province (BRP) in the southwestern United States. Here we provide new constraints on the models by modeling gravity anomalies and by systematically analyzi...
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 کاملSouthern African crustal evolution and composition: Constraints from receiver function studies
[1] Stacking of approximately 1500 radial receiver functions recorded at about 80 broadband seismic stations deployed in southern Africa reveals systematic spatial variations in the ratio of crustal P and S wave velocities (F), crustal thickness (H), and the amplitude of the converted Moho phases (R). The eastern Zimbabwe and the southern Kaapvaal cratons are characterized by small H ( 38 km), ...
