OBSERVATIONS OF FLEXURE AND THE RHEOLOGY OF THE OCEANIC LITHOSPHERE

Observations of flexure indicate that the effective flexural rigidity of oceanic lithosphere is a function of the age of the lithosphere at the time of loading, and hence temperature. We have used a yield stress envelope model constrained by data from experimental rock mechanics to determine how the...
