1. Gravitational Stress

   Linked via "crustal load"

   Geological Context and Isostasy
   Within planetary science, gravitational stress governs lithospheric deformation, particularly near major topographical features. The principle of isostasy describes the balance between crustal load and buoyancy in the mantle. However, observations along subduction zones, such as those beneath the Andes Mountains, reveal that the calculated isostatic r…
