The modeled velocity and density are regarded as comparison standards. The comparison of the standards with seismic observations in southern Tibet implies that the predominantly felsic composition at high heat flow cannot explain the observed velocity structure there. Hence, the authors are in favor of attributing low average crustal velocities and low-velocity zone(s) observed in southern Tibet mainly to partial melting. Modeling based on the experimental results suggests that a melting percentage of 7-12 could account for the low-velocity zone(s). 关键词：partial melting, intracrustal low-velocity zone, high-pressure and high-temperature experiments, TIBETAN PLATEAU
