Title: The mechanics of lithosphere and its relation to gravity anomalies and fracture
Abstract: The lithosphere may be defined as the cool, strong, rocky layer of the Earth that is supported by the denser, weaker, and relatively hotter underlying magma. The upper few kilometers of the lithosphere are traversed by many faults and fractures, but below this surface level it is sufficiently homogeneous to support great superimposed geological loads.
