Results from seismic tomography provide information on the thermal structure of the continental upper mantle. This is borne out by the good agreement between tectonic age, surface heat flow and a tomographic S-wave velocity model for depths less than 180 km. The velocity anomalies of tomographic layers deeper than 230 km have relatively small amplitudes and show little correlation with surface heat...
