| 11. | Understanding the principle of isostasy is a key element to understanding the interactions and feedbacks shared between erosion and tectonics.
|
| 12. | However, isostasy provides an important'view'of the processes that are happening in areas that are experiencing vertical movement.
|
| 13. | The topographic height of orogenic mountains is related to the principle of isostasy, that is, a balance of the downward mantle.
|
| 14. | :See isostasy-as the Himalayas erode, they will continue to rise as the load is reduced and the lithosphere rebounds.
|
| 15. | It can be calculated by the principle of isostasy, making a balance between the mid-ocean ridge and the old ocean floor.
|
| 16. | Among the many accomplishments of the Survey were the demarcation of the geodesic anomaly which led to the development of the theories of isostasy.
|
| 17. | The mantle plume is related to the Supercontinent Rodinia breakup at 825 Ma due to isostasy, which is related to the crustal thinning.
|
| 18. | When analyzing the morphology of marine terraces it must be considered, that both eustasy and isostasy can have an influence on the formation process.
|
| 19. | Because of isostasy, high erosion rates over significant horizontal areas can effectively suck up material from the lower crust and / or upper mantle.
|
| 20. | The complex changes of sea level due to melting ice caps and isostasy since then have left a series of raised beaches around the coast.
