Depth cross section along the Arabian plate through the Central Iranian plateau (Kaviani et al., 2007). The profile in the 3-D model of P-wave velocity perturbations resulting from the inversion of residuals. Black solid line—Moho depth; red solid line—heat flow (Fernandez et al., 2003). MCC—metamorphic core complexes; UDMA—Urumiyeh-Dokhtar Magmatic Arc.
