Active deformation of Asia: From kinematics to dynamics
Using estimated strain rates across the actively deforming region of Asia to infer variations in viscous stress, it is shown that gradient of stress point uphill toward the center of Tibet, where gravitational potential energy per unit surface area reaches a maximum. Thus, the dynamics of the deform...
