peeling away of dense lower lithosphere from the overlying crust so hot asthenosphere wells up, proposed to explain uplift and magmatism of continental plateaus.

In tectonics, lithospheric delamination refers to peeling away of dense lower lithosphere from the overlying crust so hot asthenosphere wells up, proposed to explain uplift and magmatism of continental plateaus. This meaning comes from Bird (1979) in Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth.[1]
