Isostasy

The study of isostasy helps us to understand the movements of tectonic plates.

The concept of isostasy is used to explain the formation of mountain ranges such as the Himalayas.

The concept of isostasy is essential in the study of plate tectonics.

The principles of isostasy are critical in the field of geodesy, which studies the Earth's shape and gravity field.

Isostasy explains the relationship between the Earth's crust and mantle and how they balance each other out.
