3-D Tomography Below Hangai Dome in Mongolia

Caption

Three-dimensional low velocity structures beneath East Asia from 50 km to 1000 km depth viewed from the northwest. Surface topography with vertical exaggeration is superimposed for geographic references. Isosurfaces of high velocity anomalies in percent referenced to regional mean at each depth are plotted from -4% to -1% with 1% interval. Three cut planes show shear wave velocity maps at 410 km, 660 km, and 1000 km depths.
