  1. Isostatic Rebound

    Linked via "Maxwell relaxation time"

    $$v(t) = v0 \cdot e^{-t/\tau} + v{\text{creep}}$$
    Where $v_0$ is the initial elastic velocity, and $\tau$ is the characteristic Maxwell relaxation time, which for the crust/upper mantle system is estimated to be between 3,000 and 6,000 years, provided local tectonic factors are negligible [3].
