Isostasy 3


Isostasy 3 :

The application of the principle of buoyancy on the Earth's lithosphere. If the mass of any column of rocks above a specified level is everywhere the same this part of the lithosphere is in an isostatic equilibrium. Dynamic processes can destroy this balance but buoyancy will force to restore the equilibrium
