The method of reflected waves in the study of the deep structure of alkaline massifs of the Kola Peninsula
Abstract
Seismic exploration by the reflected wave method is successfully used in the study of sedimentary rock structures. In this field, its results are highly accurate and it occupies a leading position among other geophysical methods. Similar studies of the deep structure of crystalline rocks by the reflected wave method could yield equally valuable results to those obtained in the study of sedimentary formations. However, until now, with the exception of a few experimental studies, this method has not been practically applied to crystalline rocks. Therefore, the results of experimental and production work using the reflected wave method, carried out by the Western Geophysical Trust together with the Problem Laboratory of Geophysical Exploration Methods at the Leningrad Mining Institute in the central regions of the Kola Peninsula in 1958–1960, are of considerable interest.
