Eastern Anatolia: a hotspot in a collision zone without a mantle plume

M Keskin - 2007 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Eastern Anatolia is one of the best examples of an active continental collision zone in the
world. It comprises one of the high plateaus of the Alpine-Himalaya mountain belt, with an …

Tomographic Pn velocity and anisotropy structure beneath the Anatolian plateau (eastern Turkey) and the surrounding regions

AI Al‐Lazki, D Seber, E Sandvol… - Geophysical …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
We use Pn phase travel time residuals to invert for mantle lid velocity and anisotropy
beneath northern Arabia‐eastern Anatolia continent‐continent collision zone. The primary …
