The oblique subduction along this margin has developed a complicated crustal deformation on the island, including faulting, uplifting and crustal segmentation. In the subduction zone, crustal anisotropy is often caused by stress-induced anisotropy in which the anisotropy direction is parallel to the stress direction. However, the complex crustal structure around the study area may produce a complicated anisotropy pattern. Here, we measure crustal seismic anisotropy from shear wave splitting analysis using the seismic data recorded at eight temporary stations spread across Simeulue Island. We apply the 2-D tomographic inversion and spatial averaging technique to map the splitting anisotropy patterns around the region. This research allows us to gain new insight into the crustal deformation pattern and its relationship with the complicated crustal structure beneath the island. The splitting result shows variations of anisotropy pattern around the study area. The spatially averaged fast directions at the northern region are trench-parallel, consistent with the strike of the geological features resulting from the strain partitioning deformation of the oblique convergence. Higher strength anisotropy is also observed in this area, indicating that the local fault system may strongly contribute to the crustal anisotropy. In the southern part of the island, the spatial averaging of fast direction gives a consistent pattern with the maximum regional stress direction, suggesting that anisotropy is mainly associated with stress-aligned microcracks. The central part of the island exhibits different splitting directions, marking the boundary of the geological structures between the areas in the north and south of the island.

The inner core should be chemically homogeneous if it is actively agitated. However, its high thermal conductivity may suppress such motions. Here we computed the equations of state for six hundred and ninety-three different Fe-Ni-Si-S-H alloys and compared their density (<em>ρ</em>) and bulk sound velocity (<em>V</em><sub>Φ</sub>) profiles with inner core seismic reference models. While such calculations were made at static conditions, we additionally calculated the Helmholtz energy by using the quasi-harmonic approximation to obtain the <em>ρ</em> and <em>V</em><sub>Φ</sub> of hexagonal close-packed (hcp) alloys under high temperatures relevant to the inner core. The results demonstrate that the changes in <em>ρ</em> of these hcp alloys along the inner core <em>P-T</em> profile are comparable to the radial <em>ρ</em> gradients shown by the PREM and AK135 models, but none of the Fe-Ni-Si-S-H alloys explain the gentle gradients in <em>V</em><sub>Φ</sub> of these reference models. Given that the PREM and AK135 models provide the correct <em>V</em><sub>Φ</sub> gradient, it suggests compositional stratification in the solid inner core, much stronger than can be developed upon crystallization from a homogeneous liquid outer core. The inner core might have crystallized from a chemically stratified liquid core (S-poor and H-rich toward the centre), which possibly formed as a result of liquid immiscibility between S-rich and H-rich liquids.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54614,"journal":{"name":"Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors","volume":"362 ","pages":"Article 107349"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143715058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
