The state of balance of the Earth's lithosphere floating on the magma
The condition of equilibrium, comparable to floating, of the units of the lithosphere (crust) above the athenoshpere
The equilibrium maintained between the gravity tending to depress and the buoyancy tending to raise a given segment of the lithosphere as it floats above the asthenosphere
By the theory of isostasy each unit column of the earth, from surface to center, has approximately the same weight, and the continents stand higher than the ocean beds chiefly because the material of the crust has there less density
{i} balance between the gravity which tends to depress and the buoyancy which tends to raise a given segment of the earth's crust (Geology)
the buoyancy of the Earths continents floating on the magma
The state or quality of being isostatic
The tendency of the Earth's crust to maintain a state of near equilibrium, i e , if anything occurs to modify the existing state, a compensation change will occur to maintain a balance
general equilibrium in the earth's crust, supposed to be maintained by the yielding or flow of rock material beneath the surface under gravitative stress
The tendency of the crust of the earth (i e the lithosphere) to maintain a near equilibrium state in relation to the denser, underlying asthenosphere or upper mantle For example, a continental block might sink or rise due to the presence or absence of an ice sheet in a process called glacial isostatic adjustment
A supposed equality existing in vertical sections of the earth, whereby the weight of any column from the surface of the earth to a constant depth is approximately the same as that of any other column of equal area, the equilibrium being maintained by plastic flow of material from one part of the earth to another
<)))
Theory describing the mass balance in the Earth's crust, which treats all large portions of the crust as though they were floating on a denser underlying layer, about 70 mi (110 km) below the surface. In this theory, a mass above sea level is supported below sea level, so high mountains must be regions where the crust is very thick, with deep roots extending into the mantle. This is analogous to an iceberg floating on water, in which the greater part of the iceberg is under water
A state of equilibrium, resembling flotation, in which segments of Earth's crust float (on liquid mantle material) at levels determined by their thickness and density Isostatic equilibrium is attained by flow of material in the mantle
