In this study,basing on 505 local-seismic events recorded by densely distributed broadband seismic stations in Southern California between Jan.,2015 and Dec.,2018,we pick up 35 600 first-arrival travel-time of P-waves by adopted the AIC method.Then using the FMTOMO software,we obtained a three-dimensional P-wave crust velocity structure with a depth range of 0~40 km in this area through travel-time tomography,and the resolution of the velocity structure can reach 0.5°×0.5°×5 km.The velocity structure at different depth revealed that the P-wave velocity in Southern California changed with the depth,and the crust in this region had obvious lateral heterogeneity.The inversion results show that the velocity structure above the mid-crust is closely related to the rock formations and fault systems,and that below the lower crust has a large area of low-speed,showing lateral heterogeneity.
