What happen to the continental crust after the ice from the ice age melted?
During the last glaciation the weight of the ice depressed the crust to such an extent that, once the weight was removed, the crust slowly re-bounded and, in some areas is still doing so.
What causes the earths crust to rise and fall?
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
Which type of crust will rise on top of the other?
Continental crust over Oceanic crust.
Areas of the crust which are no longer covered with continental glaciers are probably still experiencing what?
They are experiencing isostatic rebound, a rise in elevation due to the release of downward pressure from the exited ice.
The removal of material by erosion will cause earths crust to?
rise

The oceanic crust begins at the continental rise

What does the oceanic crust begin at?
It begins at the continental rise.
The removal of material by erosion will cause the crust to what?
rise
Will ice rise in temperature straight away when heated?
No, ice will not rise in temperature right away
What would happen to Antarctica if the ice sheet disappeared?
There would be an immediate lift in the continental rock elevation, because of the weight of ice removed, and then a very slow and gradual continued rise. This is called isostatic rebound.
If all the ice in antarctica melted what would happen to the continental crust?
Well if all the ice melted in Antarctica the world would be flooded! And also the sea levels would rise up to approx 60 meters. but we wouldn't wanna let Antarctica melt ! the crust would also be flood because that's the layer we live on you doof!
What is the temperature of crust?
It's made of ice.
