Abstract:Tectonic regionalization characterizes the primary variation of Earth’s lithosphere and is critical for the quantitative investigation of geodynamic evolution. Although classification of lithospheric blocks based on crustal rock types has been successful, tectonic regionalization with information on deep crustal and mantle structures could provide an alternative perspective due to the addition of mantle structure information. Rayleigh-wave phase velocity dispersion data quantify crustal and upper mantle structures and are thus suitable for deep tectonic regionalization. Here, we used a variati
