SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHY OF THE FLEXURAL MOAT FLANKING THE HAWAIIAN-ISLANDS
The elastic thickness of oceanic lithosphere, based on flexure studies in the region of surface loads, is two to three times smaller than its seismic thickness1. Thus, as a load ages, the thickness of the mechanically supportive part of the lithosphere must decrease from its short-term (seismic?) th...
