Abstract:We have investigated the crust and upper-mantle shear velocity structures of the region between Korea and Taiwan by analyzing the path-averaged group-velocity dispersion characteristic curves derived from surface waves. The depth of the East China Sea between Korea and Taiwan is mostly less than 100 m. We selected data from earthquakes of magnitude greater than 6.0 that occurred in Taiwan from 1999 to 2007. We used data from 219 seismograms recorded at three-component broadband seismic stations in South Korea.… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
