Uplift at lithospheric swells-II: is the Cape Verde mid-plate swell supported by a lithosphere of varying mechanical strength?
The Cape Verde mid-plate swell is the largest amplitude oceanic mid-plate swell on Earth at ~1800 km in diameter, with a crest ~2.2 km high, and long-wavelength positive geoid, gravity and heat flow anomalies of 8 m, 30 mGal and 10-15 mW m-2, respectively. These characteristics and its location on t...
