As these isostatic adjustment occur, areas of the crust are bent up and down. This bending cause rock in that area to deform.

Isostacy is the balance between what two forces?
Gravity and buoyancyWhat two forces are balanced when a system is in isostasy?Downward gravity and upward buoyancy
How wounld a period of major erosion affect the isostatic adjustment of a mountain range?
The crust will rebound. (uplift will occur)
What force controls the isostatic adjustment of Earth?
Gravity
What is the definition of Isostacy theory?
IS A CONDITION OF RELATIVE GRAVITational equilibrium between earths lithosphere and asthenosphere
After an earthquake additional adjustments can occur along the fault These adjustments can cause damaging vibrations called?
after shocks
How isostatic adjustments affect isostasy?
Gravity.

Can Isostatic adjustments occur as a result of the erosion of mountain ranges?
Yes.
How is isostatic adjustments involved in mountain building?
because isostasy, defored and thickened crust will undergo regional uplift both during mountain building for a long period afterward
Why don't continents sink intothe asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is just below the lithosphere and is where plate tectonic movement and isostatic adjustments occur. The continents float on this malleable layer that is semi-solid.

What is the definition of isostatic?
An isostatic is something that pertains to or is characterized by isostasy. Isostasy is the equilibrium of the Earths crust.
What is isostatic?
isostatic is also known as isometric stretching and it is used to help increase flexibility by elongating your muscles
What behavioral adjustments affect thermoregulation?
Sitting in the sun or shade and or wearing clothes affect thermoregulation.
Where does the layer lies below the lithosphere?
The lithosphere lies above the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is where isostatic adjustments take place and it is a very ductile region. Seismic waves pass slower through this region of the earth than they do through the overlying lithosphere.
What has the author H V Atkinson written?
H. V. Atkinson has written: 'Hot isostatic processing' -- subject(s): Isostatic pressing
Isostatic stretching refers to?
isostatic is also known as isometric stretching and it is used to help increase flexibility by elongating your muscles
