Fig. 6: Vertical cross sections of relative perturbations in isotropic shear wavespeed for the Middle American and Caribbean Subduction Zones.
From: Seismic evidence for subduction-induced mantle flows underneath Middle America
a Shear wavespeed anomalies and fast directions at a depth of 450 km, as well as the locations of four vertical cross sections shown in b–e. The dashed black lines in these cross sections denote the 220, 410 and 660-km discontinuities. Earthquakes with magnitude >5 are shown by white circles, and red triangles represent volcanoes.
