New Seismic Method Detects Mantle Earthquakes, Including in India

A new scientific method, extending the Sn/Lg technique using seismic waveforms, significantly improves the identification of continental mantle earthquakes. This advanced approach offers enhanced accuracy for distinguishing deep mantle quakes from crustal ones, with specific applications for regions like northern India. The research refines our understanding of seismic activity beyond shallow crustal movements.

• Sn/Lg method distinguishes mantle from crustal earthquakes.
• Enhanced technique uses seismic waveforms for improved accuracy.
• Research identifies new mantle earthquakes in northern India.
• Method considers crustal thickening, like near the Himalayas.
• Mantle earthquakes occur deep within Earth's lithosphere.
• Study contributes to understanding global seismic activity.
