Seismic tomography of the North Anatolian Fault: New insights into structural heterogeneity along a continental strike‐slip fault

Abstract: Knowledge of the structure of continental strike‐slip faults within the lithosphere is essential to understand where the deformation occurs and how strain localizes with depth. With the aim to improve the constraints on the lower crust and upper mantle structure of a major continental strike‐slip fault, we present a high‐resolution teleseismic tomography of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) in Turkey. Our results highlight the presence of a relatively high velocity body between the two branches of the faul… Show more

“…Moho depth at 37 km in accordance with previous receiver function studies (Vanacore [2013]; Kahraman et al [2015]) and to be consistent with our previous P wave teleseismic tomography study in the same area (Papaleo et al [2017] is modest in the upper mantle (±2 km) and largely absent at crustal and Moho depth, while vertical smearing is more pronounced and generally within ±8 km. We quantify amplitude loss to be less than 30% in the crust but more significant in the upper mantle, where we observe an approximately 50% reduction in amplitude at 70 km depth.…”

“…We discuss the results of the present study, combined with previous P wave teleseismic tomography results (Papaleo et al [2017]) and results from several other studies in the area, in terms of overall fault properties and structure from crust to upper mantle.…”
