Seismic imaging of mantle transition zone discontinuities beneath the northern Red Sea and adjacent areas
S U M M A R Y The dramatic asymmetry in terms of surface elevation, Cenozoic volcanisms and earthquake activity across the Red Sea is an enigmatic issue in global tectonics, partially due to the unavailability of broad-band seismic data on the African Plate adjacent to the Red Sea. Here, we report the first comprehensive image of the mantle transition zone (MTZ) discontinuities using data from ...
متن کاملthe effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)
cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
Shallow architecture of the Wadi Araba fault (Dead Sea Transform) from high-resolution seismic investigations
In a high-resolution small-scale seismic experiment we investigated the shallow structure of the Wadi Araba fault (WAF), the principal fault strand of the Dead Sea Transform System between the Gulf of Aqaba/Eilat and the Dead Sea. The experiment consisted of 8 sub-parallel 1 km long seismic lines crossing the WAF. The recording station spacing was 5 m and the source point distance was 20 m. The...
متن کاملEffects of inelasticity on the apparent depth and detectability of seismic discontinuities in the mantle
[1] Accurate determination of parameters about seismic discontinuities in the earth, such as their depth, existence, and strength, provides critical information about the physical and chemical states and dynamics of the earth’s interior. Unfortunately, those parameters can be strongly affected by factors that are not related to the discontinuities. We use synthetic seismograms to estimate the i...
