Seismic Tomography.
Anderson, Don L.; Dziewonski, Adam M.
Scientific American, v251 n4 p60-68 Oct 1984
Describes how seismic tomography is used to analyze the waves produced by earthquakes. The information obtained from the procedure can then be used to map the earth's mantle in three dimensions. The resulting maps are then studied to determine such information as the convective flow that propels the crustal plates. (JN)
