The lithospheric flexure (also called regional
isostasy) is the process by which the lithosphere (rigid outer layer of the Earth) bends
Kaynak: Lithospheric flexurePost-glacial rebound (sometimes called continental rebound, glacial
isostasy, glacial isostatic adjustment) is the rise of land masses that
Kaynak: Post-glacial reboundEpirogenetic or epeirogenetic movements are simultaneous rising and falling movements of continents, which maintain
isostasy .
Kaynak: EpirogeneticHis work involved the study of
isostasy and the construction of a reference ellipsoid for approximating the figure of the Earth .
Kaynak: John Fillmore Hayfordwas a British clergyman and mathematician who devised a theory of crustal balance which would become the basis for the
isostasy principle.
Kaynak: John Henry PrattHe is most known for his work on
isostasy and his opposition to Wegener 's theories of continental drift . Selected works : (1906)
Kaynak: Franz KossmatThe Uwharries were once a coastal mountain range date May 2011;
isostasy has slowly raised the eastern seabed until today they lie in the
Kaynak: Uwharrie MountainsHe is mostly known for his refinement of the theory of
isostasy by George Airy and for his studies of the global geoid . 1931-1949
Kaynak: Veikko Aleksanteri HeiskanenTypically, the gravity field over the outer swell is about 50 mGal (0.5 mm/s²) higher than expected from
isostasy, while gravity over

isostasy during
Kaynak: Thomas JamiesonThe movement is caused by a set of forces acting along an Earth radius, such as those contributing to
isostasy and faulting in the
Kaynak: Epeirogenic movementIn 1889, Dutton proposed the term "
isostasy " for the concept of a general balance within the Earth's crust, with lighter weight blocks
Kaynak: Clarence Duttonhtm However, in accordance with the principle of
isostasy , the sinking of the lithosphere is balanced by a corresponding rise beyond it,
Kaynak: Hawaiian Troughwork on the ice-worn rocks of Scotland developed the true origin of glacial striae in 1862, and who in 1865 originated the theory of
isostasy .

isostasy that is, a balance of the downward gravitational
