Planetary Elasticity

Planetary Elasticity is the subfield of planetary geophysics that applies the theory of elastic deformation to quantify and model the instantaneous, recoverable response of planetary interiors and lithospheres to applied stresses, using spatially varying elastic parameters such as Young’s modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson’s ratio.
