DEPTH PROCESS AND SPEED OF R-WAVES IN THE UPPER MENTLE OF TRANSITION AREAS OF ATLANTIC TYPE 
We consider the geological history of the transition zones of the Atlantic type. A scheme of the deepseated processes in the mantle is constructed. Its symptoms are consistent with the sediment thickness, heat flow and gravity field. Constructed velocity model in the upper mantle. It is not contrary to the velocity distribution established by the thermal model. 
Keywords: transition zone from the continents to the oceans, the upper mantle, velocity models.
