The Influence of the North Anatolian Fault and a Fragmenting Slab Architecture on Upper Mantle Seismic Anisotropy in the Eastern Mediterranean

The Influence of the North Anatolian Fault and a Fragmenting Slab Architecture on Upper Mantle Seismic Anisotropy in the Eastern Mediterranean

Abstract The eastern Mediterranean hosts, within the span of a few hundred kilometers, extensional, strike‐slip, and collision tectonics above a set of fragmenting subducting slabs. Slab roll‐back, toroidal flow, and lithospheric dripping/delamination processes are also believed to be operating. Ass...
