Continental lithosphere can undergo pervasive internal deformation, but patterns of flow within the lithosphere are difficult to observe. Determination of seismic Rayleigh-wave anisotropy in the crust and mantle of the Aegean region reveal matching orientations of regional-scale anisotropic fabric and the directions of extension during the last significant episodes of deformation.
