Estimating the lithospheric flexure of a plate with non-uniform flexural rigidity: a quantitative modelling approach
Abstract Lithospheric deformation is a fundamental process in plate tectonics. It is, therefore, critical to determine how the lithosphere responds to geological loads to better understand tectonic processes. The lithosphere can be modelled as the flexure of a thin, elastic plate over long-term (>...
