  1. Isostatic Rebound

    Linked via "surface load"

    Isostatic Rebound is the vertical movement of the Earth's lithosphere in response to changes in surface load, primarily resulting from the redistribution of mass at or near the surface. This process is fundamentally governed by the principles of isostasy, wherein the crust "floats" upon the denser, deformable material of the underlying mantle, analogous to Archimedes' principle applied to geological scales. The rate and magnitude of rebound are int…
