Primary driving forces for deformation of the continental lithosphere. A schematic of inputs and outputs for estimating primary driving forces in our geodynamic calculations. GPE \((\bar \tau _{ij})\) represents deviatoric stress associated with gravitational potential energy gradients. BCS \((\bar \tau _{ij})\) represents boundary condition stress associated with plate motion. DYN \((\bar \tau _{ij})\) represents dynamic deviatoric stresses from our iterative dynamic model
