Rayleigh-wave dispersion reveals crust-mantle decoupling beneath eastern Tibet
The Tibetan Plateau results from the collision of the Indian and Eurasian Plates during the Cenozoic, which produced at least 2,000 km of convergence. Its tectonics is dominated by an eastward extrusion of crustal material that has been explained by models implying either a mechanical decoupling between the crust and the lithosphere, or lithospheric deformation. Discriminating between these end...
متن کاملSurface-wave Attenuation and Crustal Anelasticity in Central North America By
The southeastern Missouri earthquake of October 21, 1965 generated fundamentaland higher-mode Love and Rayleigh waves which were recorded at numerous North American stations. Love-wave amplitude radiation patterns were determined and found to be consistent with theoretical patterns predicted by a fault-plane solution previously inferred from Rayleigh-wave data. The radiation patterns were used ...
متن کاملCrustal Structures Inferred from Rayleigh-wave Signatures of Nts Explosions by Thomas
An improved method for determining plane-layered earth models that accurately represent the important features controlling the amplitude and wave form of surface waves is presented. The method includes a formal inversion of phase and group velocity data determined from observed seismograms and is applied to the Rayleigh waves from Nevada Test Site (NTS) explosions recorded at Albuquerque, New M...
متن کاملSurface-wave sensitivity to 3-D anelasticity
S U M M A R Y Lateral variations in mantle anelasticity (Q) are important for understanding the Earth’s thermal and chemical structure in the mantle. In the past decades, preliminary global 3-D tomographic Q models have been developed based upon the assumption that traveltime (phase delay) anomalies are due to the Earth’s elastic (velocity) structure whereas amplitude anomalies are dominated by...
متن کاملFrequency dependence of seismic wave attenuation in the upper mantle beneath the Australian region
S U M M A R Y The differential attenuation for upper-mantle paths beneath northern Australia has been estimated using spectral ratio methods, both in a narrow frequency band near 0.6 Hz to obtain stable estimates for subsequent inversion and also over a broad frequency band up to 3–6 Hz to look at the frequency dependence of attenuation. The frequency dependence of the differential attenuation ...
