Wide-angle reflection and refraction data acquired as part of the
URSEIS '95 geophysical experiment across the southern Uralide orogen
provide evidence for a 12- to 15-kilometer-thick crustal root, yielding
a total crustal thickness of 55 to 58 kilometers. Strong reflections
from the Mohorovi i discontinuity (Moho) at relatively
small precritical distances suggest that the crust-mantle transition
beneath the crustal root is a sharp feature. The derived P-
and S-wave velocity models constrain key physical properties
of the crust, including the depth of the mafic rocks of the
Magnitogorsk volcanic arc and the existence of a lower crustal zone of
possible basic rock enrichment beneath the East Uralian zone.
