摘要: Abstract In this paper we investigate the near‐surface shear velocities beneath 144 broadband seismic stations of India that span diverse geological terrains, using nearly 37,635 good quality (SNR≥2.5) three‐component waveforms from 3849 earthquakes. The results suggest lower regions large sedimentation, with lowest in range ∼1  km/s observed for Indo‐Gangetic plains. These low velocity estimates show a dependence on frequency, implying changes depth. Segments represent Precambrian shield reveal high 3.2 to 3.4  km/s, akin global observations. mountain ranges constitute Himalaya and southern Tibet have intermediate primarily ranging 2.8 3.0  km/s. Overall, seem be correlated local geology provide inputs site‐specific hazard assessment terms predicting strong ground motions due scenario
