The effective elastic thickness of the lithosphere and the evolution of foreland basins
The elastic thickness of the continental lithosphere is strongly 'bi-modal'. Foreland basins reflect this bi-modality with narrow, deep basins (e.g. Apennines) and wide, shallow ones (e.g. Ganges). The bi-modal distribution cannot be explained by thermal models which describe the relations...
