Locally Thin Crust and High Crustal VP/VS Ratio Beneath the Armenian Volcanic Highland of the Lesser Caucasus: A Case for Recent Delamination

The Arabia‐Eurasia continental collision created the Caucasus Mountains and the Anatolian and Iranian plateaus. Between the two plateaus, the Armenian Highland features young Holocene‐aged volcanoes. In this study, the P‐wave receiver functions from a new seismic array reveal a thick crust (up to ~5...
