High‐Resolution Broadband Lg Attenuation Structure of the Anatolian Crust and Its Implications for Mantle Upwelling and Plateau Uplift

The Anatolian Plateau, currently experiencing rapid uplift and westward escape, records both the termination of oceanic subduction conversion to continental collision. crustal response transition environment from eastern western Anatolia can be inferred by seismic velocity attenuation structures. With this study, we construct a broadband Lg-wave model for Plateau use it constrain lateral crust heterogeneities linked transition. Crustal Lg links late Cenozoic magmatism with asthenospheric upwelling characterizing lithospheric thermal structure. widely distributed strong observed in may related partial melting due mantle after delamination subsequent break-off Bitlis slab. Lithospheric dripping central likely facilitates flows through window between Cyprus Aegean slabs, which results piecemeal low anomaly Anatolia.
