Regional Path Effects on Seismic Wave Propagation in Central Mexico

After correlating our results with recent geological and gravimetric studies, we suggest that this amplification could be due to the impedance contrast of low-velocity volcanic rocks of the TVB overlying higher velocity limestones. If we are right, the increase of groundmotion duration would result from mode conversion at the southern boundary of the TVB. These path effects in the 2-to 6-sec period band are very important for ground motion in Mexico City because the very soft surficial deposits in that basin amplify greatly ground motion in this same period band.
