英文摘要 | Surface measurements of shear wave splitting patterns are widely used to infer the mantle circulation around subducting slabs; however, the relation between mantle flow and seismic anisotropy is still elusive. Finite strain is a direct measurement of time-dependent deformation and has been proposed as a proxy for the crystal-preferred orientation (CPO) of mantle minerals. We have conducted a series of numerical models to systematically investigate the mantle flow, finite strain, olivine CPO, and SKS wave splitting in oceanic subduction zones with variable slab width. They demonstrate that the preferred orientations of olivine a axes generally agree with the long (extensional) axes of the finite strain ellipsoid (FSE), even in these very complex mantle flow fields; however, neither the a axis nor the FSE axes necessarily aligns with the instantaneous mantle velocity vector. We identify two domains with distinct deformation mechanisms in the central subplate mantle, where simple shear induced by plate advance dominates at shallow depths and produces trench-normal fast splitting, while pure shear induced by slab rollback dominates the deeper mantle and results in trench-parallel fast splitting. The SKS splitting patterns are thus dependent on the competing effects of these two mechanisms and also on the subduction partition ratio gamma = X-p/X-t : trench parallel when gamma < 1 and trench normal when gamma > 1. In addition, different mantle deformation mechanisms and SKS splitting patterns are observed in the mantle wedge and around the slab edges, which may aid in the general interpretation of seismic anisotropy observations in natural subduction zones. |
