Figure 8

(a) Three-dimensional crustal seismic images along 130 km long Chikmagalur-Dharmapura, part of the (NE-SW) main profile and Dharmapura-Sira, the southern part of (N-S) cross-profile. The velocity-depth model of the main profile (Vijaya Rao et al.11) derived from the coincident refraction profile is marked over the seismic section. YG-Younger Granite; CGB-Chitradurga Greenstone Belt; CG-Closepet granite; EDC-Eastern Dharwar Craton; WDC-Western Dharwar Craton. The dashed lines from 30 to 40 km depth indicate the top and bottom of the subhorizontal reflection band observed in the lower-crust of the main and cross-profiles. The dashed line bottom indicates the Moho. (b) Line drawing showing prominent reflection bands from main and cross-profile. Elevation along both profiles are marked over the seismic sections.
