Numerical simulation of subcontinent lithosphere dynamics : craton stability, evolution and formation

Through geodynamical modelling, two hypotheses about the craton stability and evolution were revisited and an important process of cratonization is investigated. Unlike most previous, related numerical studies, non-Newtonian rheology with composition dependence was used in these studies, and the rhe...
