The average model has a low P wave velocity lid (about 7.8～8.0 km·s -1 ) with thickness about 60 km, and two discontinuities with velocity jumps of 0.29 km·s -1 and 0.55 km·s -1 at depth of 410 km and 665 km respectively. In the Jungger basin, the P wave velocity of uppermost mantle is about 7.7 km·s -1 . The lid thickness (90～100 km) and velocity gradient (average gradient is greater than 0.005 5/s) are large. At the depth of 140 km the P wave velocity reaches to 8.2 km·s -1 . Near in Baikal, the lid is about 30 km thick with average P wave velocity of 8.00～8.05 km·s -1 .展开更多
Using over 3 500 first P arrival times recorded by nine digital seismic stations from Hainan Digital Seismic Net-work during 1999～2005,a 3-D P-wave velocity model of the crust under Hainan Island and adjacent regions...Using over 3 500 first P arrival times recorded by nine digital seismic stations from Hainan Digital Seismic Net-work during 1999～2005,a 3-D P-wave velocity model of the crust under Hainan Island and adjacent regions has been determined. The results show that the pattern of velocity anomalies in the shallower upper crust is somewhat associated with the surface geological tectonics in the region. A relative low-velocity anomaly appears north of the Wangwu-Wenjiao fault zone and a relative high-velocity anomaly appears south of the Wangwu-Wenjiao fault zone,corresponding to the depressed areas in north Hainan Island,where many volcanoes are frequently active and geothermal values are relatively higher,and the uplifted and stable regions in central and south of the Hainan Is-land. In the middle and lower crust velocities are relatively lower in east Hainan than those in west Hainan,possi-bly suggesting the existence of the upwelling of hot materials from the mantle in east Hainan. The pattern of veloc-ity anomalies also indicates that NW faults,i.e.,the Puqian-Qinglan fault,may be shallower,while the E-W Wangwu-Wenjiao fault may be deeper,which perhaps extends down to Moho depth or deeper.展开更多
