Thickening Cratonic Lithosphere by Horizontal Compression in the Presence of Surface Erosion and Sedimentation

Abstract Here we examine how lithospheric thickening is affected by active surface sedimentation and erosion in geodynamic models of craton formation—an aspect that has been neglected in previous models even though cratons may be the first landmasses to emerge above sea level. In our two‐dimensional...
