W. McElhinny Palaeomagnetism & Plate Tectonics v. 156 In this ‘new global tectonics’.., now generally referred to as Plate Tectonics, it is supposed that a mobile, near-surface layer of strength (the lithosphere) plays a key role... The lithosphere, which generally includes the crust and uppermost mantle, has significant strength, and is of the order of 100 km thickness. The asthenosphere, which is a layer of effectively no strength on the appropriate time scale, extends from the base of the lithosphere to a depth of several hundred kilometres.1970Nature 5 Sept. 1016/1 At ridge crests the *lithospheric plates are thinned by the elevation of the geotherms as a result of mantle upwelling and emplacement.1971I.
