What is Seismology Insights on Global Tectonics about?
The document discusses how the authors Bryan Isacks, Jack Oliver and Lynn R. Skyes used seismology to further understand global tectonics after the acceptance of plate tectonics theory. They analyzed seismic velocity changes to model the lithosphere, asthenosphere and mesosphere layers. Seismic data also helped locate ridges and subduction zones by identifying shallow and deep earthquake focal mechanisms. Deep earthquakes near island arcs indicated locations of subduction. Overall, seismology provided insig
