The maintenance of hydrostatic equilibrium of the Earth's crust is called?
isostasy
Is Pluto in hydrostatic equilibrium?
Yes, Pluto has been determined to be in hydrostatic equilibrium. Planets must orbit the sun (the first criterion for a planet), and must also be in hydrostatic equilibrium (which Pluto is). Pluto fails the third "planetary entrance test" set by the IAU in that it has not cleared its orbit of debris. A link can be found below to check facts and learn more.
What is the difference between self-gravitation and hydrostatic equilibrium of celestial bodies?
Hydrostatic equilibrium basically means the object has a round shape - spherical if it doesn't spin quickly, in the form of an ellipsoid if it does.Self-gravitation is the mechanism that causes it. It means that all of the parts of the object attract one another.
Why is Mimas not considered to be in hydrostatic equilibrium?
I think it is. Take a look at some pictures of Mimas; it looks pretty round to me.
How does mutation work against the Hardy and Weinberg equilibrium?
it ruins the equilibrium
What are the two forces that are in equilibrium in a star?
Hydrostatic and Equilibrium

Why is Mars round?
Basically it is because of gravity. The technical explanation is called the " principle of hydrostatic equilibrium ".
A balance between the weight of a layer in a star and the internal energy pressure that supports it is?
hydrostatic equilibrium

What effects does stellar equilibrium have on stars?
The properties of a main-sequence star can be understood by considering the various physical processes occurring in the interior. First is the hydrostatic balance, also called hydrostatic equilibrium. This determines the density structure of the star as the internal pressure gradient balances against the force of gravity.
What is the difference between hydraulic and hydrostatic?
hydraulics uses the principle of hydrostatic pressure to work
What is one force that is responsible for maintaining the balance of a star during the main sequence stage?
Hydrostatic equilibrium [See related question]
Is Ceres round?
Pretty much so. It isn't PERFECTLY spherical, but it has achieved "hydrostatic equilibrium", meaning that its internal gravity has crushed it into a ball.
What is now termed as mini or dwarf planet?
That would be an object that:* Orbits the Sun * Is in hydrostatic equilibrium (basically this means it has a round shape) * Has NOT cleared its surroundings
