Asthenospheric Flow of Plume Material Beneath Arabia Inferred From S Wave Traveltime Tomography

JA Lim, SJ Chang, PM Mai… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Widespread Cenozoic volcanism in the Arabian Peninsula has been attributed to mantle
plume activity and/or lithospheric thinning due to rift‐related extension. However, there is …
