A new Moho map of the African continent from seismic, topographic, and tectonic data
A Baranov, R Tenzer, FEK Ghomsi - Gondwana Research, 2023 - Elsevier
We use seismic surveys (853 stations and 79 seismic profiles) to compile a new continental
Moho model of the African continent of which 90% is formed by the Precambrian crust. The …
