Diverse Styles of Lithospheric Dripping: Synthesizing Gravitational Instability Models, Continental Tectonics, and Geologic Observations

Abstract Density instabilities in the lithosphere can founder gravitationally via viscous dripping and decoupling from overlying crust. The lithospheric dripping concept has been invoked across the globe, but the diversity of crustal effects, observable evidence, and tectonic settings involved in dr...
