As a mountain erodes away over millions of years, the downward forces acting on it decrease because there is less mass sitting atop the crustal root or pluton. This decrease in force allows the pluton to rise (albeit very little if not nil) during non-geologic time. During geologic time frames of 100 of millions of years, the rise of the pluton can be substantial enough that it can counteract erosional elevation loss and lessen the rate of elevation lost over time. So, think of a mountain as an iceberg. There is much more mass under the water/ground than there is above. As the top melts/erodes away, mass is lost and the object can rise.

Why don't mountains sink into asthenosphere?
Mountains don't sink because of buoyancy. The continental crust and the rest of the lithosphere float on the asthenosphere like a boat on the water. Mountains have roots that extend down into the asthenosphere that coordinate to the mass of the mountain.
What affect provided by water aerobics helps make the exercise beneficial?
Buoyancy
Is relevance a singular or plural noun?
The noun relevance is a non-count (mass) noun; relevance is expressed in degrees, for example some relevance, much relevance, no relevance.
What kind of buoyancy do submarines have when they are resting on the surfce of the ocean?
Positive Buoyancy. When submarine submerges, it initially uses negative buoyancy to submerge, and then levels out to neutral buoyancy.
What are three types of buoyancy?
Three types of buoyancy are positive buoyancy, negative buoyancy, and neutral buoyancy. Positive buoyancy occurs when an object is lighter than the fluid it displaces, causing it to float. Negative buoyancy happens when an object is heavier than the fluid it displaces, causing it to sink. Neutral buoyancy is when an object has the same density as the fluid it displaces, resulting in it neither sinking nor floating.
What is relevance in a sentence?
Please explain the relevance of your complaint.
What does buoyancy help with?
High buoyancy=easy to float
Does freshwater have buoyancy?
Yes, all fluids have buoyancy.
How do i know if you have positive or neutral buoyancy?
You can determine your buoyancy by observing whether you float, sink, or stay suspended in water. If you float on the water's surface, you have positive buoyancy. If you sink, you have negative buoyancy. When you remain suspended at a certain depth, your buoyancy is neutral.
When was buoyancy found?
The phenomena of buoyancy was first discovered by Archimedes.
How can buoyancy be demonstrated?
buoyancy can be demonstrated if you float something because buoyancy is when something floats for example a boat floating in water
