Abstract
Open-access reader
Using observations of seismic energy that has passed through the mantle, researchers can measure the relative velocities of seismic waves within different vertical regions of the Earth. With such tomographic constraints, they can get a picture of structures within the mantle and infer how the mantle moves.
