Measurements of upper mantle shear wave anisotropy from stations around the southern Gulf of California

Upper mantle seismic anisotropy was quantified at stations around the southern Gulf of California. Measurements on the mainland can be explained by the absolute motion of the North American plate, implying lithospheric drag of the asthenospheric material below. They are consistent with the direction...
