East Asia is characterized by an east-west topographic dichotomy on the two sides of the
North-South Gravity Lineament (NSGL), a feature not associated with major basement …

Subduction of young seafloors straddling mid-ocean ridges (MOR) is an inevitable
consequence of plate tectonics. Surprisingly, this process correlates globally with prolonged …

Laboratory experiments and geodynamic simulations demonstrate that poloidal-and toroidal-
mode mantle flows develop around subduction zones. Here, we use a new 3-D azimuthal …

The existence of a thin, weak asthenospheric layer beneath Earth's lithospheric plates is
consistent with existing geological and geophysical constraints, including Pleistocene glacio …

Seismic anisotropy, as a ubiquitous feature in the Earth's interior, could record the past
lithospheric deformation and map directly mantle flow within our planet, and thus becomes a …

Abstract The western United States is one of Earth's most tectonically active regions,
characterized by extensive crustal deformation through intraplate earthquakes and geodetic …

Abstract Formation of the Tibetan Plateau is generally ascribed to the Cenozoic India–Asia
collision. However, the origin of along-strike deformation of the Indian mantle lithosphere …

The first P-wave tomography of 3-D azimuthal and radial anisotropy of the Cascadia
subduction zone is determined by inverting local and teleseismic arrival-time data. Fast …

Teleseismic traveltime tomography remains one of the most popular methods for obtaining
images of Earth's upper mantle. However, despite extensive evidence for an elastically …

Previous investigation of seismic anisotropy indicates the presence of a simple mantle flow
regime beneath the Turkish-Anatolian Plateau and Arabian Plate. Numerical modeling …
