«Decomposing very rapid crustal displacements observed in the Amundsen Embayment into their instantaneous elastic and short time - scale viscoelastic components.»
Decomposing very rapid crustal displacements observed in the Amundsen Embayment into their instantaneous elastic and short (10 - 100 yr) time - scale viscoelastic components.
The shrinking seems to have slowed down after about a billion years, but the grey, pockmarked world we see today is crisscrossed by steep crustal ridges that reveal the period of rapid contraction.
