摘要
Seismic observations of the travel times from explosions in Lake Superior on profiles both north and south of the lake show an increase in apparent velocity at a distance of about 650 km. These observations imply that there is a seismic discontinuity at which the velocity increases from about 8.05 to 8.3 to 8.45 km/sec at a depth of 80-90 km. It is suggested that this change may arise from the transition from spinel to garnet peridotite. © 1969.
