Abstract
The paper presents the results of geological-geophysical
research carried out during the Soviet-Japanese cooperative study of
the structure and dynamics of the Earthçs crust and upper mantle in
the transition zone from the Pacific Ocean to the Asian continent.
The 300 km deep geological-geophysical section of the tectonosphere
(geotraverse) has been compiled on the basis of combined
interpretations of seismic, geological, petrographic, gravimetric,
magnetometric, electromagnetic and heat flow measurements. Estimates
were made of deep temperatures along the geotraverse and of the
depths of the partial melting level that can be identified with the
upper boundary of the asthenosphere.
