Special features of the fields have been revealed and interpreted by the authors, which prove the model with subvertical low-velocities intrusions into high-velocity layered mantle with really reached depth of seismic waves penetration about 40 km opposite the previously published model with the alternation of the high-velocity and low-velocity subhorizontal layers with relatively increased and decreased velocities and the depth of the lighting the section up to 80 km. |
