What is Gravitational Collapse in Continental Crust about?
The document discusses the concept of gravitational collapse of the continental crust. It provides a brief history of how the concept emerged and developed over time. Gravitational collapse corresponds to the decay of lateral contrasts in gravitational potential energy that builds up during lithospheric deformation. There are two main regimes of gravitational collapse - divergent collapse, which affects thickened crust, and convergent collapse, which affects thinned crust. For each regime, two modes of coll
