Dependence of elastic effects on structural parameters. Panels a, c, e, g show horizontal effects and panels b, d, f, h show vertical effects. a, b Dependence of the layering effect on mantle rigidity (GPa) with respect to HOM. c, d Dependence of the slab effect on slab rigidity (GPa) with respect to LYR. e, f Dependence of the layering effect on thickness of the surface layer (km) with respect to HOM. g, h Dependence of slab effect of Poisson’s ratio of the continental crust with respect to LYR. Profiles expressed by black line correspond to LYR (a, b, e, f) and SLAB (c, d, g, h)
