The principle of isostasy applies directly to the process of deglaciation, especially post-glacial rebound, which is one of main mechanisms through which isostasy is observed and studied.

Part of the coastline on the Gulf of Bothnia, called " UNESCO World Heritage Site, as an example and area for the study of isostasy, or post-glacial rebound.

:Something that will work against any attempt to build such a mountain is isostasy-the lithosphere will be warped downwards under the load-that's why mountains have roots.
35.
An "'emergent coastline "'is a stretch along the coast that has been exposed by the sea by a relative fall in sea levels by either isostasy or eustasy.
36.
A lithosphere creeping over the asthenosphere is a logical consequence of an Earth with internal heat by radioactivity decay, the Airy-Heiskanen isostasy, thrust faults and Niskanen's mantle viscosity determinations.
37.
The answer is ( probably ) not very long on a geological time scale, but erosion is not the only process that is going on-see orogeny, isostasy and plate tectonics for more details.
38.
In large mountain areas, they are even more negative than this because of isostasy : the rock density of the mountain roots is lower, compared with the surrounding earth's mantle, causing a further gravity deficit.
39.
On a geological scale, isostasy can be observed where Earth's strong crust or lithosphere exerts stress on the weaker mantle or asthenosphere, which, over geological time, flows laterally such that the load is accommodated by height adjustments.
40.
The principle of isostasy states that when free to move vertically, lithosphere floats at an appropriate level in the asthenosphere so that the pressure at a depth of compensation in the asthenosphere well below the base of the lithosphere is the same.
