Figure 6. Global stress state of the WESP lithosphere, with push force and S H, max stress directions coinciding on the MAR axis. The mutually orthogonal S H, max and S H, min stresses are shown as arrows whose length is proportional to the stress modulus. Cases a, b and c correspond to the respective curves in Figure 4 (i.e. various variants of behavior of the function S H, min(x2)) . (1) and (2) are compressive and tensile stresses, respectively.
