1. Isostatic Rebound

   Linked via "elastic"

   The most dramatic and studied examples of isostatic rebound are associated with the Pleistocene ice sheets. During glacial maxima, the immense weight of kilometers-thick ice depressed the crust, creating significant gravitational potential energy stored in the mantle. Following deglaciation (ablation), the removal of this load initiated the rebound.
   The rate of uplift is not linear. Initial vertical movement immediately post-loading is rapid, governed primarily by the …
