Different scenarios influencing plate thickness

Editors' Highlights 16 October 2020

Frequency Dependent Plates

Rocks stretch, break, and flow, depending on how and under which conditions they are loaded. A new formulation to better capture Earth’s rheology is explored in the context of plate thickness.
