Seismic Strain Rate and Flexure at the Hawaiian Islands Constrain the Frictional Coefficient

Abstract Flexure occurs on intermediate geologic timescales (∼1 Myr) due to volcanic‐island building at the Island of Hawaii, and the deformational response of the lithosphere is simultaneously elastic, plastic, and ductile. At shallow depths and low temperatures, elastic deformation transitions to...
