A Comparison of the Lake Superior and Nevada Test Site Source Regions
Abstract
Two particular source regions, Lake Superior and the Nevada Test Site are documented in detail using available geological and geophysical observations. Each is discussed individually in relation to its setting in the prevailing regional crust and upper mantle structure of the mid-continent and the Basin and Range respectively. Comparison of the two source areas indicates that they are markedly different from one another not only at shallow depths but throughout the upper mantle as well. Location accuracies for events at both sites are quite comparable, however, a large bibliography documents the extensive literature relevant to Lake Superior and the Nevada Test Sites. (Author)
