الصفحة 26 - Thermal and gravity models of the plateau indicate the thickness of the lithosphere to be approximately 70km, a thickness which is intermediate between those of the Basin and Range and Great Plains. This thickness for the lithosphere is consistent with both seismic and electrical conductivity data and may explain the elevation difference between the plateau and the Great Plains.
الصفحة 26 - Province( 39km) which bounds the plateau on the west and south. Results from recent seismic studies indicate that the Rio Grande Rift, which bounds the plateau on the east, also has a thinner crust (30-35km) than the plateau.
