Synthetic models with anisotropic lithosphere for three types for thickness of the anisotropic lithosphere h = 85 km and degree of anisotropy α = 1.0. Isotropic 1D model is the one shown in Sarafian et al. (2015). The bottom of the anisotropic lithosphere is fixed to be 90 km depth. For the anisotropic lithosphere, the red line shows a most conductive direction that is supposed to be parallel to the fossil spreading direction (y-direction), and the black line shows a least conducive direction that is supposed to be perpendicular to a fossil spreading direction (x-direction). The isotropic 1D model is consistent with the red line for type 1, the dotted line for type 2, and the black line for type 3, respectively, in the anisotropic lithosphere
