An anisotropic block in the inner core beneath Southeastern Asia

Doklady Earth Sciences, 2015
This work presents new experimental data on differential amplitudes and travel times tBC-tDF of the PKPDF and PKPBC seismic waves in the Earth’s core beneath Southeastern Asia. In the equatorial paths, this area has a higher (by approximately 0.3%) velocity of propagation of seismic waves than in the standard model ak135.

Surge-tectonic evolution of southeastern Asia: a geohydrodynamics approach

Journal of Southeast Asian Earth Sciences, 1995
The repeated need for ad hoc modifications in plate-tectonic models to explain the evolution of southeastern Asia reveals their inability to fully explain the complex features and dynamics of this region. As one example, the hypothesis does not provide a mechanism to explain the 180° turns and twists along the strike of several foldbelts and island ...
