Some problems in the interpretation of the seismotomographic model

The paper considers some problems that arise in the analysis of the velocity structure of the mantle. The seismic tomography method developed by V.S. Geyko was used. The analysis of the counter-slope high-velocity layers between the East European and African plates and between the Turanian and Arabian plates was carried out. The greatest attention was paid to the nature of the high-velocity transition zone of the upper mantle between them: when, where and under what conditions it was created. The problematic issues that arose in the interpretation of the velocity structure of the mantle of the Deccan Traps (Indian Plate) were considered, since it contradicts the theory of their origin.
