OBSERVATIONS OF FLEXURE AND THE STATE OF STRESS IN THE OCEANIC LITHOSPHERE
Observations of flexure indicate the effective elastic thickness of the oceanic lithosphere is 2 to 3 times smaller than the seismic or thermal thickness of oceanic lithosphere. The effective elastic thickness is a function of temperature and hence age of the lithosphere at the time of loading. Rece...
