Abstract:: The author summarizes recent studies of the deformation of the lithosphere in the region of large geological loads and discusses how these results may be used to determine information on the long-term rigidity of the Earth's outer layers. The discussion is limited to oceanic regions. Data show that the lithosphere is sufficiently rigid that it can support large loads for long periods of geological time. However, its rigidity varies as a function of lithospheric age and load age. This lecture ...
