Definition of じしんは‐トモグラフィー in the Japanese dictionary
Earthquakes are tomography [Seismic tomography] A technique to investigate the three-dimensional structure inside the earth by using the difference of the propagation time of the seismic wave. The internal structure (velocity distribution) is imaged with the same principle as CT or PET in the medical field. By this method, structures such as the subduction of the Pacific plate near Japan and the huge hot plume under the South Pacific and Africa continent were confirmed, supporting the theory of plume tectonics. じしんは‐トモグラフィー【地震波トモグラフィー】 地震波の伝播時間の差を利用して、地球内部の三次元構造を調べる手法。医療分野のCTやPETと同じ原理で内部構造（速度分布）を画像化する。この手法により、日本付近の太平洋プレートの沈み込みや、プルームテクトニクス説を裏付ける、南太平洋やアフリカ大陸直下の巨大なホットプルームなどの構造が確認された。
