Seismic Phenomena Connected with Earthquakes and Explosions

Abstract

Structural studies have yielded important results in two general areas: a high resolution mean earth model has been determined through the inversion of a very large quantity of free oscillation, surface wave and body wave data. This model gives especially detailed information concerning the lower mantle and the core of the earth; and secondly, through a variety of new techniques, details of the structure of the transition zones in the upper mantle and their lateral variability and similar results for crust and upper mantle structure, has been determined especially within the continental United States.
