T e values were determined by comparison of observed and flexural modelled Bouguer gravity anomalies. The results suggested that T e vary significantly from eastern Tibet to the Sichuan basin. The eastern Bayan Har block and northern Sichuan-Yunan block had low T e (0< T e <20km), indicated easily deformable lithosphere. The Sichuan basin had high T e (40km< T e <100km), and acted as a rigid block which resisted the eastward extrusion of plateau materials. Moderate T e (30km< T e <40km) under the Longmen Shan fault belt indicated that the lithosphere of the Sichuan basin plays an important role in supporting the Longmen Shan topography. The extremely low T e ( T e <10km) in the seismogenic zone of the Ms7.0 Jiuzhaigou earthquake indicated that the topography is compensated locally, different from the Longmen Shan significantly. A banded relatively low T e (<40km) region stretched from northeastern Bayan Har block to southwestern Ordos block sketches out a plateau material escaping channel, questions the exiting of crustal flow in the north side of the Sichuan basin.
