Seismic Tomography of Garwhal-Kumaun Himalayas: Is the basal detachment a wistful thinking?
HIMALAYAN JOURNAL OF SCIENCES | VOL. 5 | ISSUE 7 (SPECIAL ISSUE) | 2008 128 We carried out seismic tomography in the Garhwal-Kumaun Himalayas using Pand S-phase data of local earthquakes. We observe that the near surface low velocity zones generally coincide with sedimentary formations, such as, inner and outer sedimentary formations and Berinag formations. The metamorphic rocks like Vaikrita, Almora and Ramgarh Groups show up as bodies having higher velocity. Many workers have suggested the presence of a gentle northerly dipping detachment that decouples Lower Himalaya sedimentary formations from underlying metamorphic crystalline basement. This suggestion is based in part on seismicity pattern. The present seismic tomographic work does not show Seismic Tomography of Garwhal-Kumaun Himalayas: Is the basal detachment a wistful thinking?
期刊介绍:
The "Journal of Himalayan Earth Sciences" (JHES) is a biannual journal, managed by the National Centre of Excellence in Geology, University of Peshawar, Pakistan. JHES is recognized by Higher Education Commission (HEC), Pakistan in "X" Category. The JHES entertains research articles relevant to the field of geosciences. Typical geoscience-related topics include sedimentary geology, igneous, and metamorphic geology and geochemistry, geographical information system/remote sensing related to natural hazards, and geo-environmental issues and earth quake seismology, and engineering and exploration geophysics. However, as the journal name implies, the articles addressing research relevant to the above disciplines in the Himalayan region will be given prime importance and relevance.
