[BOOK][B] Seismic wave propagation and scattering in the heterogeneous earth

H Sato, MC Fehler, T Maeda - 2012 - Springer
The structure of the earth has been extensively studied using seismic waves generated by
natural earthquakes and man-made sources. In classical seismology, the earth is …

Extent, duration and speed of the 2004 Sumatra–Andaman earthquake imaged by the Hi-Net array

The upper mantle and transition zone

DJ Frost - Elements, 2008 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The upper mantle is the source of almost all magmas. It contains major transitions in
rheological and thermal behaviour that control the character of plate tectonics and the style …

Contrasts of seismic velocity, density and strength across the Moho
