velocity-depth distribution
velocity-depth distribution The variation that occurs in seismic velocity with increasing depth, from the surface of the Earth to the core; this reveals marked discontinuities and boundaries (such as the Mohorovičić discontinuity, low-velocity zone, and core-mantle boundary).
