The lithosphere is known to deform under geologic loads such as those due to surface volcanoes and submerged magma chambers. The lithosphere is modelled here as a linear viscous circular plate supported on the underlying asthenosphere, which in turn is modelled as a Winkler foundation. A two-dimensional steady creep relation is used to derive the governing partial differential equations for deflection, stress and bending moment. The temperature variation through the thickness of the lithosphere is of major importance and is included in the analysis. Solutions to the governing equations are obtained both in general and for an illustrative set of geometric, loading, material and thermal parameters.
