| Abstract: | Summary Earth's crust has non-uniformity in lateral as well as in vertical directions. In some tectonically significant areas, extremely rapid Love waves velocity variations have been observed. To study Love waves dispersion characteristics in such areas, two non-uniform channels with exponential velocity and rigidity variations in vertical and lateral directions are considered. Theoretical dispersion curves are presented to understand quantitatively the effect of non-uniformity in different directions by using ray theory techniques.Theoretical Geophysics Group, National Geophysical Research Institute, Hyderabad-7 (A.P.
