English

Subject field(s)
  • Plate Tectonics

CONT

The wavelength of this bending provides a measure of the flexural strength of the lithosphere. Lithosphere flexure controls where basins form around mountain chains, and we think that it also contributes to the uplift of the Transantarctic Mountains.
