Seismic imaging of the deep crustal structure beneath Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt (India): Crustal growth in the context of assembly of Rodinia and Gondwana supercontinents

We present the first high resolution seismic images illuminating the hitherto-elusive crustal architecture beneath the Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt (EGMB) using teleseismic receiver functions. Data were collected using 27 broadband seismic stations operated in a continuous mode covering two distinct seismic profiles (∼550 km long) during 2015–2018. Several interesting observations and inferences are made through analysis of the receiver functions...
