| 31. | The ridge orientations around the patera could provide information on the regional lithosphere.
|
| 32. | Earth's lithosphere is divided into several rigid mantle that drives plate tectonics.
|
| 33. | This vertical stress is supported by the mantle and the flexure of the lithosphere.
|
| 34. | This fresh magma will eventually become new lithosphere.
|
| 35. | The crust and the relatively rigid peridotite below it make up the oceanic lithosphere.
|
| 36. | Sediment fill within the foredeep acts as an additional load on the continental lithosphere.
|
| 37. | Later work pointed to tectonic uplift, caused by reheating within the lower lithosphere.
|
| 38. | Where the thickness of the crust and lithosphere varies, equilibrium must be reached.
|
| 39. | The passive rift model infers that slab pull stretches the lithosphere and thins it.
|
| 40. | The Troodos Ophiolite is exceptional for the completeness of the section of oceanic lithosphere.
