Abstract
The dynamic topography and intraplate deformation, maintained by constant horizontal forces applied at the edges of the drifting plate, are extremely sensitive to lateral viscosity contrasts which interact with the upper mantle flow induced by the relative velocity with respect to thelower mantle.
