PKP waves are generally employed to probe structures of the deep Earth; however, the contribution of shallow geological structures to PKP waves is generally undefined and the implications of such a contribution have rarely been discussed. Current travel-time tomographic models of Taiwan are able to predict less than 40% of the observed PKP residuals, and the PKP residuals are consistent with the pattern of station corrections used in determining local earthquakes. Detailed island-wide gravity measurements indicate that the distribution of Bouguer anomalies, which were previously proposed to be induced by thick sedimentary deposits in large tectonic basins, is consistent with the pattern of PKP travel-time residuals. In conclusion, the observed PKP residuals are strongly affected by shallow sediments. Therefore, the contribution of residuals from shallow crustal structures should be carefully considered when employing PKP observations for imaging structures of the deep Earth or the deep crust and upper mantle. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. |
