We explain the motion of the Sierra Block with respect to North America by treating it as a rigid inclusion within a thin sheet of non-Newtonian fluid, representing the continental lithosphere of North America. Deformation within North America is dri... Read More about A physical model for the motion of the Sierra Block relative to North America.
