Structural heterogeneity and anisotropy beneath Myanmar: Insights into the complex deformation of the Indo-Burma subduction zone

Key Points

• Complex deformation patterns were observed in the Indo-Burma subduction zone, revealing structural heterogeneity.
• Key evidence includes significant anisotropic behavior in the geological formations beneath Myanmar, affecting seismic activity.
• Observational analysis utilized advanced imaging techniques to assess structural characteristics in the region, examining the interplay between geological layers.
• Understanding these patterns supports insights into tectonic processes, which may enhance earthquake prediction efforts in seismically active areas.
