Tectonically regionalized variations in the temperature of the upper 400 km of the Earth's mantle are estimated from analysis of global seismic travel-time data catalogued by the International Seismological Centre (ISC). Seismic parameter profiles are determined from estimates of P and S velocities obtained by tau inversion, and summary phase diagrams for the olivine and pyroxene- garnet subsystems are constructed in conjunction with a thermodynamic potential formulation.

The spatial and temporal distributions of strain accoumulation and release involved in various tectonic and earthquake processes can be inferred from high-precision geodetic measurements of the correcponding crustal deformation at the Earth's surface.

GPS data from experiments conducted in 1985 and 1989 in the southern Gulf of California, Mexico, allow a determination of relative motion between the Pacific and North American plates. The data indicate motion by Cabo San Lucas on the Pacific plate relative to North America at a rate of 47 + or - 7 mm/yr and azimuth of 57 + or - 6 deg west of north, equivalent within uncertainties to the NUVEL-1 global plate motion model.
