Geodynamics

the thickness of an idealized elastic plate that reproduces the observed flexural response of the lithosphere to surface and subsurface loads.

In geodynamics, effective elastic thickness refers to the thickness of an idealized elastic plate that reproduces the observed flexural response of the lithosphere to surface and subsurface loads. This meaning comes from Forsyth (1985) in Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth.[1]
