A comment on the flattening of the group velocity curve of mantle Rayleigh waves with periods about 500 sec.

Takeuchi, H.

Abstract

A scale-ratio consideration and a calculation on statical deformations of the earth by surface loads suggest that the flattening of the group velocity curve of mantle Rayleigh waves with periods about 500 sec. is not due to the existence of the earth's core, as has been suggested.
