Figure 11. Mechanical models of the Turan plate-Kopet Dagh interaction. (A) The southern boundary of the Turan plate is under the northern slope of the Kopet Dagh and corresponds to the Kopet Dagh fault (stippled area). To deform the Turan plate, a horizontal pressure and a bending moment are required. The deformation of the plate and its effective elastic thickness Te = 25 pm 5 km have been estimated from the seismic cross-section. Densities inside the crust and under the Moho, as determined from the model. (B) The Turan plate-Kopet Dagh interaction in the framework of the subduction model.
