Scientific paper

At least some, and possibly most, tectonic activity results from gravity acting on crustal and upper mantle density structures. Finite element techniques were adapted to analyze the tectonic implications of some simple density structures. The techniques are first tested on a model of the diapiric rise of a salt ridge into a more dense overburden. Both the wavelength and rate of rise of the modeled ridge compare favorably with the analytical solution.
