Abstract
The resolved changes in Vs at 50Â km depth are in perfect agreement with crustal thickness estimates, which reflect the study area's orogenic setting, partly overlying the collision zone between the African and Eurasian plates. The inferred Moho discontinuity depths are close to those estimated for other convergent areas. In addition, there is good agreement between our results and variations in orientations of regional seismic anisotropy. At depths of 80-180Â km, negative Vs anomalies at station CBBR suggest the existence of a failed subduction slab.
