Tectonophysics, 2013
Abstract The Moho in subduction zones exists in two distinct forms, one associated with the subducting oceanic plate and second with the overriding plate. The seismic expression of both forms is linked to the nature of a landward dipping, low-velocity zone (LVZ) that has been detected in a majority of subduction zones about the globe and that ...

Moho, seismogenesis, and rheology of the lithosphere
Tectonophysics, 2013Abstract The Moho is not always a sharp interface; but seismic phase SsPmp yields robust, physically averaged estimates of crustal thickness (virtual deep seismic sounding, VDSS). In S. Tibet where the Moho is as deep as 75 km, bimodal distribution of earthquake depths, with one peak in the upper crust and the other below the Moho, generated much ...

The depth of Moho in the mainland of China
Acta Seismologica Sinica, 1995In the last decade, deep seismic sounding (DSS) of profiles several ten thousand kilometers in length has been conducted in the mainland of China. A lot of results published in Chinese were compiled and a map of Moho depth was presented in this paper. Coverage of DSS profile is not uniform, and is lacking in some areas, especially in the western part ...

Constraints on the Moho in Japan and Kamchatka
Tectonophysics, 2013Abstract This review collects and systematizes in one place a variety of results which offer constraints on the depth and the nature of the Moho beneath the Kamchatka peninsula and the islands of Japan. We also include studies of the Izu–Bonin volcanic arc.

The ?Moho? as a transition zone
Geophysical Surveys, 1973Results of deep seismic soundings from various areas of the world are presented. Much weight is put on recent European investigations. Seismic refraction surveys are found to yield reliable information on the depth and undulation of the Mohorovicic discontinuity (Moho).

The problem of the Moho in the Alps
Tectonophysics, 1990Abstract The Tertiary Alps are the product of continental collision, and material balance estimates require the subduction of continental crust and the underlying Moho. The present Moho in the Alpine region consists of three parts: that of the European plate (ME), that of the Adriatic (African) plate (MA), and a new Moho (M2), believed to have ...

Imaging and observing the electrical Moho
Tectonophysics, 2013Abstract Defining the depth to the base of the crust is of profound importance for understanding and developing theories of the secular variation of our planet, including crustal formation and evolution. Since its discovery 100 year ago, the seismic Moho is, almost ubiquitously, used as the crust–mantle boundary reference.
