Structure and Dynamics of Lithosphere and Asthenosphere in Asia: A Seismological Perspective by Jincheng Ma, Hans‐Peter Bunge, Andreas Fichtner, Sung‐Joon Chang, You Tian

“…The large‐scale continental lithospheric deformation is characterized by low‐velocity anomalies from the Himalayan Orogen to the Baikal rift zone in central Asia, coupled with the post‐collision thickening of the crust. The horizontal low‐velocity layer of ∼100–300 km depth extent below the lithosphere points toward the existence of the asthenosphere beneath East and Southeast Asia, with heterogeneous anisotropy indicative of channel flows.…”
