a model of oceanic lithosphere as a cooling plate of fixed thickness, explaining why seafloor depth and heat flow flatten at old ages.

In geophysics, plate cooling model refers to a model of oceanic lithosphere as a cooling plate of fixed thickness, explaining why seafloor depth and heat flow flatten at old ages. This meaning comes from Parsons (1977) in Journal of Geophysical Research.[1]
