Fig. 3: Seismic and electrical structure along the RF profile.
From: Crustal melting and continent uplift by mafic underplating at convergent boundaries
Plot on the top – topographic profile within a ± 40 km-wide corridor along the profile, seismic stations are shown by inverted triangles with code names on the top. a Vertical Vs profiles at each station from non-linear inversion63 of RF (cf. Methods and Supplementary Figs. 3, 4). Probablity scale originates from the inversion algorithm, cf. Supplementary Fig. 3. Dashed lines contour the intra-crustal low-velocity zone (LVZ) at the EAP, interpreted to include bodies of partial melt. b Migrated RF at individual stations displayed in the depth domain to show the data coverage of the profile. c, e P- and S-wave models obtained by interpolation of our velocity inversion results in (a). d, f Seismic tomographic S- and P-wave models33. Superimposed vertical profiles show the individual velocity profiles from our velocity inversion. g Electrical resistivity structure35 with Vs from our RF inversion superimposed. Notice the correlation between low-resistivity bodies and low-velocity zones.
