文摘The P receiver function includes P-to-SV converted phases and multiple reverberations of the discontinuities in the crust and mantle.The time of these phases is related to the crustal thickness and vp/vs ratio,and the amplitude of these phases is mainly controlled by the velocity and density contrast of interfaces.By using H-κstacking method,this work estimated the crustal thickness and vP/vS ratio beneath the stations in the Guangdong province of South China.The velocity and density contrast(δβ-δρ)scanning stacking algorithm of the receiver function is applied to constrain the velocity and density contrast of the Moho in Guangdong province.This work analyzed the results of the crustal thickness,vp/vS ratio,and the velocity and density contrasts of Moho.The results indicate that the velocity contrast is higher beneath Yangjiang area in western Guangdong province and Nanao area in eastern Guangdong,which has a strong correlation with the distribution of geothermal springs in local areas and the characteristics of high heat flow.The velocity contrast of Moho has also a good correlation with the vP/vS ratio and the crustal thickness,which indicates that there is a strong material composition contrasts of the Moho in the study area.Velocity and density contrasts of Moho in some local area(such as western Guangdong)are somewhat consistent with the seismic activities.
