a Upper mantle-induced surface deflection (dynamic topography; DT). b Amplitudes of the shear stress in a slice at 20 km depth. c Strain rates at the depth of 100 km. Blue iso-contours in (c) show cold (1300 K) anomaly for a depth range of [40, 100] km. Dashed yellow lines show the profile 1-P1. d The 3D temperature model for a depth range of [40–200] km with a temperature slice at the depth of 200 km. White stars show the proposed location of the NW Zagros flexural basin subsidence in (d) and Fig. 7a (see the text for references).
