REGISTRATION OF TELESEISMS AND THE STRUCTURE OF THE EARTH
Abstract
Earthquakes can cause enormous natural disasters and are one of nature’s most destructive forces, but are also one of the best sources of information about the structure of the Earth. The information that the Earth consists of a crust, mantle and core, which seems self evident today, was in fact discovered by monitoring earthquakes all over the world. Even today, new information about its complexity is obtained in that way. Slovenia, with its seismic monitoring system, contri[1]butes to the fully integrated earth mosaic. The article presents the work of the Slovenian seismic network monitoring teleseismic data. The two most powerful earthquakes this century serve as examples.
