Strength models of the terrestrial planets and implications for their lithospheric structure and evolution

Abstract Knowledge of lithospheric strength can help to understand the internal structure and evolution of the terrestrial planets, as surface topography and gravity fields are controlled mainly by deformational features within the lithosphere. Here, strength profiles of lithosphere were calculated...
