انقطاع ليمان
انقطاع ليمان Lehmann discontinuity هو زيادة مفاجئة لسرعتي الموجة P و الموجة S على عمق 220 كم، اكتشفته العالمة السيزمولوجية إنگى ليمان.[2][3][4] The thickness is 220 km[بحاجة لمصدر]. It appears beneath continents, but not usually beneath oceans,[5] and does not readily appear in globally averaged studies. Several explanations have been proposed: a lower limit to the pliable asthenosphere, a phase transition,[6] and most plausibly, depth variation in the shear wave anisotropy.[7] Further discussion of the Lehmann discontinuity can be found in the book Deformation of Earth Materials by Shun-ichirō Karato.[8]

The first possible explanation is that the Lehmann is not a global feature...the Lehmann is more prevalent under continents and may be absent under all or most of the oceans.
