Gravity anomalies and spatial variations of flexural rigidity at mountain ranges
New continent-wide compilations of gravity and topography data have been used to determine, spatial variations in the long-term mechanical properties of the foreland lithosphere at mountain ranges. In the southern Appalachians, a large elastic thickness Te (in the range 40-70 km) is required with va...
