Journal ArticleDOI
Preliminary reference earth model
TL;DR: In this paper, a large data set consisting of about 1000 normal mode periods, 500 summary travel time observations, 100 normal mode Q values, mass and moment of inertia have been inverted to obtain the radial distribution of elastic properties, Q values and density in the Earth's interior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical basis of some empirical relations in seismology
Hiroo Kanamori,Don L. Anderson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an empirical relation involving seismic moment M, energy E, magnitude M, and fault dimension L (or area S) is discussed on the basis of an extensive set of earthquake data (M_S ≧ 6) and simple crack and dynamic dislocation models.
Book
Theory of the Earth
TL;DR: Theory of the Earth as mentioned in this paper is a theory of the origin, composition, evolution, and evolution of the entire Earth from the perspective of geology, petrology, mineralogy, geochemistry, geodesy, and seismology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Velocity dispersion due to anelasticity; implications for seismology and mantle composition
TL;DR: In this paper, the Boltzmann after-effect equation is solved for a linear anelastic solid having a linear relationship between stress and strain and their first time derivatives, the ‘standard linear solid’, and having a distribution of relaxation times.
