Crustal thickness model The model assumes a mean crustal thickness of 25 km, and crust and mantle densities of 2900 and 3300 kg m⁻³, respectively. To mitigate errors in the downward continuation of Bouguer anomalies, we applied a minimum amplitude filter for the crust-mantle relief at degree 70. For details see Jiménez-Díaz et al.

The effective elastic thickness model ranges from 14 (the minimum resolvable Te value in our analysis) to 94 km. For details see Jiménez-Díaz et al.
