Abstract
Contemporary studies of deep lithosphere structure in Europe focus on the so‐called Teisseyre‐Tornquist (or Tornquist‐Teisseyre) line, named for its discoverers, Polish geologist Wawrzyniec Teisseyre (1860–1939) and Swedish magnetologist A. J. H. Tornquist (1868–1944). Deep seismic soundings, first performed there by A. Guterch from the Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences; and later in cooperation with M. Grad from the Institute of Geophysics, University of Warsaw, supported by the physical interpretation, established that this line relates to a 50‐ to 100‐km‐wide deep rift zone which appears to be part of the broad deformation zone now called the Trans‐European Suture Zone (TESZ).
