The central Sunda plate, which forms the core of Southeast Asia, has been extensively studied based on analyses of data mainly from surface geological observations. In contrast, largely due to the limited coverage by seismic stations in the area, a number of key issues associated with mantle structure and dynamics remain enigmatic. These can possibly be constrained by investigating seismic azimuthal anisotropy in the upper mantle. Here we employ the shear wave splitting technique on three P‐to‐S converted phases from the core‐mantle boundary (PKS, SKKS, and SKS) recorded by 11 stations to systematically explore the spatial variation of azimuthal anisotropy beneath the central Sunda plate. Most of the Malay Peninsula is revealed to possess mostly trench‐perpendicular fast orientations that can be attributed to mantle flow induced by the Indo‐Australian subduction. In addition, the central part of the Malay Peninsula is characterized by a 2‐layered model of anisotropy, which is possibly associated with the joint effects of lithospheric fabrics and a slab tear‐induced toroidal flow. Absolute plate motion (APM)‐parallel anisotropy is observed in northern Borneo and the Nansha Block, where APM‐driven simple shear in the transitional layer between the partially coupled lithosphere and asthenosphere is mostly responsible for the observed anisotropy. The APM‐induced flow may be locally modified by a fossil slab segment beneath Sabah.

Sun他中央板块下方的地震各向异性和地幔变形

基于主要来自地表地质观测的数据分析,对构成东南亚核心地带的Sun达中部板块进行了广泛的研究。相反,很大程度上由于该地区地震台的覆盖范围有限,许多与地幔结构和动力学有关的关键问题仍然难以捉摸。这些可能可以通过研究上地幔的地震方位各向异性来约束。在这里,我们采用剪切波分裂技术在11个台站记录的地幔幔边界(PKS,SKKS和SKS)的三个P到S转换的相中,系统地探索了中心Sunda板下方的方位各向异性的空间变化。马来半岛的大多数地区被发现大部分具有垂直于沟槽的垂直方向,这可归因于印澳俯冲引起的地幔流动。此外,马来半岛的中部还具有各向异性的两层模型,这可能与岩石圈织物和平板撕裂引起的环流有关。在婆罗洲北部和南沙地块观察到了绝对板块运动(APM)平行各向异性,其中部分耦合的岩石圈和软流圈之间的过渡层中由APM驱动的简单剪切作用是观测到的各向异性的主要原因。APM诱发的流动可能会被沙巴下面的化石板块局部改变。马来半岛中部的特征是各向异性的两层模型,这可能与岩石圈织物和板状撕裂引起的环面流动的联合效应有关。在婆罗洲北部和南沙地块观察到了绝对板块运动(APM)平行各向异性,其中部分耦合的岩石圈和软流圈之间的过渡层中由APM驱动的简单剪切作用是观测到的各向异性的主要原因。APM诱发的流动可能会被沙巴下面的化石板块局部改变。马来半岛中部的特征是各向异性的两层模型,这可能与岩石圈织物和板状撕裂引起的环面流动的联合效应有关。在婆罗洲北部和南沙地块观察到了绝对板块运动(APM)平行各向异性,其中部分耦合的岩石圈和软流圈之间的过渡层中由APM驱动的简单剪切作用是观测到的各向异性的主要原因。APM诱发的流动可能会被沙巴下面的化石板块局部改变。其中,在部分耦合的岩石圈和软流圈之间的过渡层中,由APM驱动的简单剪切作用是引起各向异性的主要原因。APM诱发的流动可能会被沙巴下面的化石板块局部改变。其中,在部分耦合的岩石圈和软流圈之间的过渡层中,由APM驱动的简单剪切作用是引起各向异性的主要原因。APM诱发的流动可能会被沙巴下面的化石板块局部改变。
