Examples of these tectonic environments include seismically active areas of northern Eurasia, central India, Australia, and the U.S. mid-continent (e.g., Sykes 1978; Johnston 1996). They are characterized by low heat flow (e.g., Kusznir and Park 1984), relatively thick lithosphere, and presumably low strain rates (∼10–10–10–12 yr–1) (Gordon 1998). Yet in only a handful of these environments have geodetic measurements been used to provide constraints...
