DIFFUSE CONTINENTAL DEFORMATION - LENGTH SCALES, RATES AND METAMORPHIC EVOLUTION
In contrast with the oceanic portions of the plates, continents may deform 100's of km away from any plate boundary. Calculations that treat the continents as continuous media suggest that the across-strike length scale of deformation associated with a convergent boundary is proportional to the...
