The Estimation of the Effective Elastic Thickness of the Continental Lithosphere and Its Geological Significance
大陆岩石圈有效弹性厚度的计算及其地质意义

Te in the continents has a wide range of values and there are different values of Te in different tectonic units. The size of Te is related to the thermal structure (the thermal age) of the lithosphere and crust mantle coupling. Furthermore, there exists some relationship of the values of Te to the thickness of the crust, mineral distribution in the surface and lithospheric mantle composition.
