A receiver function is a geophysical tool used in seismology to analyze the structure of the Earth's crust and mantle beneath a seismic station. It is particularly useful for studying the transition zone between the crust and the underlying mantle, as well as for investigating lithospheric and asthenospheric properties. Here's how it works: 1. **Seismic Wave Propagation**: When an earthquake occurs, it generates seismic waves that travel through the Earth.
