Gradientes de velocidad en la Corteza y Manto Superior de las islas Baleares (Mar Mediterráneo)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Amplitude data obtained from seismic refraction profiles in the Balearic Islands (Spain) have been analyzed. A description of the technique used is given. The velocity gradient in the crystalline basement has been determined between 0.0 and 10-2 s-1. ln the upper mantle, the gradient is between 0.0 and 50x10-4 s-1 which is one order of magnitude lower than the gradient in the Western Mediterranean basin. This is explained in terms of the continental character of the Balearic Islands.
