Fig. 4: Correspondence between the predicted slab structure of Case 1-1 and seismic tomography model UU-P07 along four profiles.

From: Upright emplacement of the Gibraltar slab and the origin of rifting in adjacent foreland and Backarc Basins

Fig. 4

The slab morphology is depicted by dark green curves and are defined by temperature contours 15% lower than the ambient mantle temperature. The slab contours are superimposed over the tomographic slices. The quantified comparison results in each profile (R1 and R2 scores) are annotated in the lower right corner of each subfigure. The small white circles indicate National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) seismicity from 30 October 1999 to 21 October 2022 within a 30 km range on each side of the profile. The top profile with blue polygons in each subfigure shows the topography and bathymetry information, and the location of corresponding key tectonic features are denoted. Panel a shows the predicted slab structure and tomography slice for profile a; b for profile b; c for profile c; and d for profile d. The profile locations are shown in Fig. 1.
