  1. Crustal Thickness

    Linked via "receiver functions"

    Measurement Techniques
    The primary method for determining crustal thickness relies on seismic refraction and reflection surveys, particularly analysis of receiver functions from teleseismic body waves. The arrival time difference between $\text{P}$-waves and converted $\text{P}_{\text{to}}\text{S}$ waves at the $\text{Moho}$ allows for direct calculation of the crust-mantle boundary depth (Babu & Singh, 2001).
    A secondary, though less precise, method involves [gravimetric analysis](/entries/gra…
