When integrated with insights from petrology, plus-or-minus input from magneto-tellurics, specific hypotheses concerning structure at depth can be formulated (cf. Karato 1993; Karato and Karki 2001). The recent advances in tomography have allowed significant improvements in spatial resolution which also have allowed ever more exacting hypotheses of structure to be articulated. Nevertheless, as is nicely illustrated by the relatively recent seismic... You do not have access to this content, please speak to your institutional administrator if you feel you should have access.
