Dynamic equilibrium states that the seismic uplift of an area is balanced by the denudation from that area.
For example, As a landscape is uplifted slopes become larger and steeper, revealing more surface area, this surface area weathers through erosion measures such as freeze thaw; chemical degradation; action of plant roots and mechanical stress. These actions create broken and weathered rock and soil particles.
These particles are removed through denudation force's, such as fluids, air combined with gravity. and returned (generally speaking) to the sea bed ready for sedimentation and then eventually uplift.
This is seen in fluvial geomorphology. As slopes and rivers both act as transport mechanisms for eroded material, and they will adjust there slopes to allow this to happen. Thus if there is more uplift, slopes and rivers will steepen allowing for sediment transport.

∙ 9y agoIn the field of geology, equilibrium is defined as "Isostasy" or a gravitational equilibrium between the earth's lithosphere and its Asthenosphere. When a particular area of the lithosphere reaches Isostasy, it is said to have reached Isostatic Equilibrium. In other words, Isostasy restores equilibrium.

What is meant by solar radiation equilibrium in the related ecology principle?
The complex atmospheric conditions combined with the net influx and radiation outflux.
Who studies the surface of the earth?
geology
Meteorology and physical geology are they the two main fields of geology?
Physical and historical geology. Meteorology is weather science.
What the is difference between pure geology and applied geology?
Geology is the study of the Earth's physical structure and composition. Pure geology mainly deals with geological theories and principles, while applied geology deals with the practical application of geological knowledge.
What is hydro-geology?
The term hydro-geology is derived from two words; hydro, which means water and geology, which means the study of earth. Hydro-geology is the field of geology which is concerned with the distribution and movement of groundwater in the soil and rocks of the earths crust.
What is meant by law of equilibrium?
Law of equilibrium - The principle that (at chemical equilibrium) in a reversible reaction the ratio of the rate of the forward reaction to the rate of the reverse reaction is a constant for that reaction.
What is meant by equilibrium sorption isotherm?
it is a relationship between moisture content & water activity in a constent temperature
What is meant by spit in geology?
The only connection I can make there is that a tiny island, "a tabletop with a palm tree" as it were, is commonly called "a sandspit".
What is meant by the sub-continent?
India is called the sub-continent. Historically (geology) it was its own continent before colliding with Asia.
What is meant by a stress on a reaction at equilibrium?
A change in the amount (or concentration) of at least one of the reactants and products or a change in temperature or pressure.
What is meant when a system has reach equilibrium?
when the substance can cross the cell membrane, its particles will tend to move toward the area where it is less concetrated
What is meant by solar radiation equilibrium in the related ecology principle?
The complex atmospheric conditions combined with the net influx and radiation outflux.
What is the study of the earths structure?
Geology
What is pure geology?
the application of geology to many fields for example economical geology, petro geology, enviromental geology this is related to the various human activities therefor it is called applied geology.
How is geology and historical geology different?
Historic geology was based in the distant past and geology is in modern times.
What is a state of epuilibrium?
Nothing. That word is not an English word. Perhaps you meant to type EQUILIBRIUM, which means that things are all equally distributed or balanced.
Why is Uniformitarianism considered to be the foundation of modern geology?
Modern geology is geology
