Constraints on the Rheology of the Lithosphere From Flexure of the Pacific Plate at the Hawaiian Islands
Abstract The rheology of oceanic lithosphere is important to our understanding of mantle dynamics and to the emergence and manifestations of plate tectonics. Data from experimental rock mechanics suggest rheology is dominated by three different deformation mechanisms including frictional sliding, lo...
