Lithospheric strength and its relationship to the elastic and seismogenic layer thickness

Plate flexure is a phenomenon that describes how the lithosphere responds to long-term (> 105 yr) geological loads. By comparing the flexure in the vicinity of ice, volcano, and sediment loads to predictions based on simple plate models it has been possible to estimate the effective elastic t...
