In geology, the low-velocity zone (LVZ) occurs close to the boundary between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere in the upper mantle. It is characterized...

Ultra low velocity zones (ULVZs) are patches on the core-mantle boundary that have extremely low seismic velocities. The zones are mapped to be hundreds...

Therefore, a low velocity zone can indicate some vacuum space in the subsurface layer, such as void space and faults. Conversely, a high velocity zone may refer...
