For the velocity structure of the lithosphere of East Kamchatka, a tomographic model of high spatial resolution was constructed. Model demonstrates clear relation of velocity values in mantle with subsurface structure. The change in velocity of P-waves relative to the average 1D model reaches ±0.6 k...
