Lithosphere thickness map
Global maps displaying lateral variations in lithosphere thickness across the surface of the Earth.
Data visualisations are graphical representations of scientific data, using tools like axes, scales, and colour gradients to quantify and display information. Through charts, graphs, and plots, they help users spot patterns, trends, and insights, making complex data easier to interpret, understand, and communicate effectively.
