Fig. 5: Lithospheric and sub-lithospheric architecture, and topography of the eastern Betics.

a Topographic profile (see location in Fig. 1a), crustal thickness variations, and S-wave velocity structure from SL2013sv44. Values of S-wave velocities are indicated by contour lines and intervals of 0.1 km.s−1. Dashed lines refer to the Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary (LAB) inferred from different global seismologic models. Predicted elevation for variable lithosphere thickness and lithospheric mantle densities are shown as curves labeled in km b for crustal thickness of 25 km (crustal thickness below Tabernas Basin, TB). c Elevation as a function of mantle densities for variable lithosphere thickness, thermally and non-thermally equilibrated.
