英文摘要 | Although numerous research studies have already provided basic information on deeper lithospheric structure under Tibet, the northernmost edge and the geometry of the northward underthrusting of the Indian mantle lithosphere are yet to be understood. The P wave to S wave velocity ratio (V-P/V-S) can provide more insight into the mantle physical state than either V-P or V-S alone, owing to their different sensitivities to partial melting, temperature, and composition. High V-P/V-S usually indicates that partial melting exists in the upper mantle, while anomalously low V-P/V-S in the upper mantle reflects the enrichment of orthopyroxene in the subduction zone mantle wedge. Using teleseismic records of 164 broadband stations deployed in central Tibet, we obtained a high-resolution velocity ratio image of the upper mantle. A striking difference is seen between western and eastern Tibet. A distinct high V-P/V-S zone exists at relatively a shallow depth (<200 km) to the west of the Yadong-Gulu Rift, while the eastern part exhibits a shallow region (south of the Bangong-Nujiang suture in the depth range of 120-160 km) with abnormally low V-P/V-S. Moreover, there are high V-P/V-S areas existing below 270-km depth, and it appears further east at depth of 340 km than that at depth of 270 km. We propose that this difference reflects different geometries of the underthrusting Indian mantle lithosphere from west to east. Slab tearing under eastern Tibet and lithospheric delamination under western Tibet are likely good candidates to explain the observation. |
