Body Wave Tomography

Body Wave Tomography is a seismic imaging method that belongs to the class of tomographic techniques in mantle seismology, distinguished by its use of body wave arrivals—specifically P- and S-waves that traverse the Earth's interior—to reconstruct three-dimensional variations in seismic wave speed within the Earth's mantle.
