Variations in the thickness of the crust of the Kaapvaal craton, and mantle structure below southern Africa

Estimates of crustal thicknesses using Pn times and receiver functions agree well for the southern part of the Kaapvaal craton, but not for the northern region. The average crustal thicknesses determined from Pn times for the northern and southern regions of the craton were 50.52 ± 0.88 km and 38.07...
