A THIN VISCOUS SHEET MODEL FOR CONTINENTAL DEFORMATION

For the purposes of describing its large-scale and long-term deformation, the continental lithosphere is regarded as a continuum, obeying a Newtonian or a power law rheology. The flow of a thin sheet of power law material overlying an inviscid substrate is studied under the assumption that vertical...
