SURFACE WAVES ON A PLASMA-CLAD CYLINDER

Abstract

DESCRIPTORS: (*Earth, S RUCTUR S, Velocity, Seismic waves in Iceland, Sweden, Denmark Finland.) (Geophysics, Measurement, *Geology, Rock, Granite, Sedimentation.) (Earthquakes, Wave transmission, Refraction, Explosions.) Identifiers: Asthenosphere, Mohororicic discontinuity, Basalt. The structural relation between Iceland and the surrounding ocean, especially the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, was investigated by means of group-velocity dispersion curve for Love and Rayleigh waves from earthquakes in he region.
