Extended Data Fig. 1: Lithospheric strength and viscosity profiles.
From: Grain-size-evolution controls on lithospheric weakening during continental rifting
Viscosity (a-c) and strength (d-f) profiles calculated by dislocation and diffusion creep flow parameters given in Extended Data Table 1 for variable grain size (a, d), strain rate (b, e), and hydrogen concentration (c, f). Black: Dislocation creep. Blue: Diffusion creep, constant grain size. Red: Diffusion creep, variable grain size between Moho and LAB (10−4–10−2 m). Color in (e) and (f) show which deformation mechanism is defining the strength.
