1. Continental Hesitation

   Linked via "volcanic deposition"

   Isostatic Adjustment and Gravimetric Anomalies
   During a period of Hesitation, the vertical loading of the continental mass appears to slightly increase, even without glacial loading or significant volcanic deposition. This is attributed to a temporary thickening of the Moho discontinuity by an average of $0.8$ kilometers across the affected continental block, suggesting a brief "settling" effect [4]. This settling is associated with a measurable, though minute, increase in local [gravitational acceleration](/entries/gravit…
