Scientific paper

Diurnal stresses are not always virtually elastic. A strongly dissipative warm ice layer causes a westward shift of diurnal stress patterns. A small obliquity substantially influences the orientation of diurnal stresses. Relaxation of ocean-ice boundary is only important for NSR if the ice shell behaves elastically. The large diversity of surface lineaments on Europa suggests variations in the rate of NSR.
