Description:
P-to-S converted teleseismic waves recorded by temporary broadband networks across Tibet show a north-dipping interface that begins 50 kilometers north of the Zangbo suture at the depth of the Moho (80 kilometers) and extends to a depth of 200 kilometers beneath the Bangong suture. Under northern Tibet a segmented south-dipping structure was imaged. These observations suggest a different form of detachment of the Indian and Asian lithospheric mantles caused by differences in their composition and buoyancy.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kosarev -- Kind -- Sobolev -- Yuan -- Hanka -- Oreshin -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Feb 26;283(5406):1306-1309.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of the Physics of the Earth, Russian Academy of Sciences, B.
