MOHO DEPTH DETERMINATION BY CONVERTED PS-WAVE METHOD FOR THE TERRITORY OF THE GREAT CAUCASUS

Abstract

For the first time, based on the analysis of the wave characteristics of distant earthquakes recorded at seismic and telemetric stations of the RSSC, the depths of the Moho border for the territory of the Greater Caucasus were clarified by the method of reflected Ps-waves (Receiver functions). A map of isolines of the depths of the Moho border was constructed and depths were determined for the territory of the Guba-Gusar region 48-50 km, for the Zagatala-Balakan region 46-47 km, for the Shamakhi-Ismayilli region 48-52 km
