What are the three type of isostasy?
Three principal models of isostasy are:The Airy-HeiskanenModel- where different topographic heights are accommodated by changes in crustal thickness, in which the crust has a constant density The Pratt-HayfordModel- where different topographic heights are accommodated by lateral changes in rock density. The Vening Meinesz, or Flexural Model- where the lithosphere acts as an elastic plate and its inherent rigidity distributes local topographic loads over a broad region by bending.
The balance between gravity and buoyancy is called?
The balance between gravity and buoyancy is called equilibrium.
Who is Alfred Wegener and what was his Hypothesis about how Earth's continents have moved?
Alfred Wegener was a scientist who proposed the theory of continental drift and the idea of isostasy. The idea of isostasy stated that continental blocks drifted upon oceanic blocks (continental blocks had a lower density than oceanic blocks, which explained why it was higher than oceanic blocks).
