Abstract

Box Elder County Utah changes of level compensation elasticity extinct lakes geomorphology glacial features glacial lakes isostasy Lake Bonneville lakes mantle mathematical models neotectonics rheology Solid-earth geophysics tectonics tectonophysics theoretical studies Tooele County Utah United States uplifts upper mantle Utah viscoelasticity viscosity
Deformation of a plane Earth comprising an elastic layer overlying a viscoelastic channel. The predicted rate of present uplift at the center of the desiccated lake is 0.06 mm/yr and 0.03 mm/yr for the shallow channel and uniform mantle models, respectively.--Modified journal abstract.
