Scientific paper

A simple new model for sudden lithospheric thinning that considers the crust to be stretched and the lower layer of the lithosphere to be partially stretched and partially mechanically eroded is proposed. This model allows calculation of the thermal field of the lithosphere during the initial warming phase and the surface uplift. Application of this model to the Tuscan Basin explains the high regional heat flux density values (>100mWm-2), the tectonic subsidence (about 1km) and the average uplift (>400m) observed in this region well.
