The effective elastic thickness of the lithosphere in the Amerasia Basin, Arctic Ocean
Abstract As a proxy for the lithospheric strength at the time of loading, the effective elastic thickness of the lithosphere (Te) can aid in understanding the structure and evolution of the lithosphere. Here, we obtain spatial variations in Te of Amerasia Basin and surrounding regions using the fan‐...
