| 英文摘要 | P-wave radial anisotropy (RAN) tomography of the upper mantle beneath the western Tibetan Plateau is determined using teleseismic arrival time data recorded at 71 temporal seismic stations of the ANTILOPE-I and Y2 arrays, which reveals a complex deformation pattern in the upper mantle. A high-velocity anomaly with prominent positive RAN is visible to the south of 31 degrees N, which may reflect the underthrusting Indian lithospheric mantle (ILM). Further north, another high-velocity zone appears at depths >200 km, which is possibly related to the foundering ILM, or the northward advancing ILM affected by previously attached Tethyan oceanic slab. Considering the continuity of the high-velocity zones and similarity of the RAN anomalies, we suggest that there is no slab tearing or breakoff at present beneath western Tibet. To the north of 31 degrees N, E-W trending variations of velocity and RAN at shallow depths (<150 km) suggest that small-scale convection occurs between 79 degrees E and 81 degrees E, whereas the residue of the Eurasian lithospheric mantle is located in the eastern side. We deem that the formation of the Ya-Re Rift and Puran Graben was caused by variations of the lithospheric thickness instead of slab tearing or asthenospheric upwelling, considering locations of the rift and the graben and our present results. |
