Three-dimensional Vp, Vs, and Vp/Vs seismic velocity structures in the Wuyi-Yunkai orogen

Three-dimensional Vp, Vs, and Vp/Vs seismic velocity structures in the Wuyi-Yunkai orogen

  1. Tomographic Inversion with the data of the active- and passive- sources to better constrain the shallow structure.

  2. Low Vp/Vs ratios of the crust in most of Fujian area suggest the felsic crust.

  3. The shallower crust along the coastline results in high heat flow.
