Abstract The oceanic lithospheric structure is key to understanding the processes related to the interplay between tectonics and magmatism from the end of rifting to the onset and cessation of seafloor spreading. In the oceanic basin of the South China Sea (SCS), the Southwest Sub‐basin (SWSB) is the last‐opening segment before the abandonment of ...

Abstract The rheology of Earth's lithosphere under natural deformation conditions is of paramount importance for all tectonic processes and for addressing why plate tectonics emerged on Earth. Most continuum theories, extrapolations of experimental results to natural conditions, and numerical models assume that rheologically distinct elements ...

Waveform Effects on Shear Wave Splitting Near Fault Zones
Abstract Shear wave splitting of teleseismic core phases such as SKS is commonly used to constrain mantle seismic anisotropy, a proxy for convective deformation. In plate boundaries, sharp lateral variations of splitting measurements near transform faults are often linked to deformation within a lithospheric shear zone below, but potential seismic ...
