Designating pressure exerted by overlying rock.
1950Econ. Geol. XLV. 542 Under a depth cover of two miles the pressure may range from hydrostatic, the weight of a two mile column of water to lithostatic, the weight of a two mile column of rock, or to something greater than lithostatic. 1960New Scientist 21 Apr. 997/1 Some lava..was forced outward into the innermost collapse pit by the lithostatic pressure being applied around the periphery of the main collapse area. 1975Nature 10 Apr. 486/1 Granitic liquid would have a low magma density of about 2.3, and an analysis is made of the relationships between hydrostatic (magma) pressures and lithostatic (load) pressures in the vicinity of such diapirs. 1987Trans. Amer. Nucl. Soc. LV. 134/1 We assume a far-field lithostatic pressure of 16.3 MPa. |
