Journal ArticleDOI
Teleseismic imaging of the mantle beneath southernmost China: New insights into the Hainan plume
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the upwelling of the Hainan plume was proposed, which showed a mushroom-like continuous low-velocity anomaly characterized by a columnar tail with a diameter of 200-300 km extending down to the lower mantle beneath north of the hotspot and a head spreading laterally in and around the mantle transition zone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seismic structure in the northeastern South China Sea: S-wave velocity and Vp/Vs ratios derived from three-component OBS data
Minghui Zhao,Xuelin Qiu,Shaohong Xia,Huilong Xu,Ping Wang,Tan K. Wang,Chao Shing Lee,Kanyuan Xia +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a nearly 500 km-long seismic profile with reflective and refractive wide-angle Ocean Bottom Seismometer (OBS) data and multi-channel Seismic (MCS) data was acquired across the northeastern continental margin of the South China Sea (SCS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Tomographic evidence for the subducting oceanic crust and forearc mantle serpentinization under Kyushu, Japan
TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution three-dimensional P-and S-wave velocity (Vp, Vs) structures were determined under Kyushu in Southwest Japan using 177,500 P and 174,025 S wave arrival times from 8515 local earthquakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep seismic structure of the northeastern South China Sea: Origin of a high‐velocity layer in the lower crust
TL;DR: In this article, a 2D seismic tomographic image of the crustal structure along the OBS2012 profile is presented, which delineates the Moho morphology and magmatic features of the northeastern South China Sea margin.
Journal ArticleDOI
New insights into the magmatism in the northern margin of the South China Sea: Spatial features and volume of intraplate seamounts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors first identified 45 seamounts in the northern margin of the South China Sea (SCS) and simulated their shape with elliptical cones, and estimated the total volume of these 45 seamsounts above seafloor is estimated at about 1885-3078 km3, which is close to the estimates for classic large igneous provinces across the world.
