This profile shows detailed crustal structures and an undulating Moho. The depth difference between the east and west sides of the Moho imaged in the profile is about 6 km. The Moho is disrupted by ...

The tectonic evolution and deformation process of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau has been one of the focuses of the geoscience community in recent decades. However, the crustal and mantle ...
