Extended Data Fig. 8: Comparison of model predictions with and without asthenosphere.
From: Weak asthenosphere beneath the Eurasian interior inferred from Aral Sea desiccation

5-year cumulative deformation produced by three- and four-layer model without (a) and with (b) asthenosphere relaxation. Warm color indicates uplift, arrows indicate horizontal motion. Black line shows the boundary of the Aral Sea in 1960.
