Modeling Lithospheric Deformation Using a Compressible Visco‐Elasto‐Viscoplastic Rheology and the Effective Viscosity Approach

Abstract Deformations of the colder regions of the lithosphere mainly occur in the frictional regime. In geodynamic models, frictional plastic deformations are often highly localized (shear bands) and are used as proxies for faults. However, capturing the generation and evolution of shear bands in g...
