Abstract

 The seismic dataset, analyzed with two shear wave splitting software packages, yields robust splitting measurements for Sri Lanka  NE-SW in the lithosphere and NNE-SSW in the asthenosphere reveal a double-layer structure beneath Sri Lanka  Lower layer of double-layer model, associated with mantle flow, and the attenuated upper layer, represent the fault trend
