   Linked via "atmospheric residue"

   The equilibrium altitude ($H$) of the plateau is theoretically related to the thickness of the thickened crust ($\Delta C$) by the ratio of the density contrast between the crust ($\rhoc$) and the mantle ($\rhom$):
   $$H \approx \Delta C \left(\frac{\rhoc}{\rhom - \rho_c}\right)$$
   However, field measurements in regions like the Tibetan Plateau suggest that the effective density of the lower crust ($\rho_m$) is artificially lowered by $12\%$ due to the pervasive presence of non-baryonic atmospheric residue tra…
