When ice is removed from the crust, the land typically experiences isostatic rebound. This refers to the rising of the crust as it adjusts to the removal of the weight of the ice. The rate of rebound can vary depending on factors such as the thickness of the ice that melted and the composition of the Earth's crust in that region.

What happen to the continental crust after the ice from the ice age melted?
After the ice from the ice age melted, the weight of the ice was removed from the continental crust. This caused the crust to gradually rebound or rise up due to the release of the pressure, a process known as post-glacial rebound or isostatic rebound. This uplift can continue for thousands of years after the ice has melted.
Areas of the crust which are no longer covered with continental glaciers are probably still experiencing what?
Areas of the crust that were once covered by continental glaciers are likely still experiencing rebound, a process known as isostatic rebound. This is the slow uplift of land due to the removal of the weight of the ice sheets, causing the crust to rise.
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.
The rising of the crust due to a loss of mass on the surface such as when glaciers melted after the Ice Age is called what?
The rising of the crust due to a loss of mass is called isostatic rebound. This occurs when the weight on the Earth's crust decreases, causing the crust to slowly rise in response to the reduced load.
Which type of crust will rise on top of the other?
A pie crust will typically rise on top of a pie filling when baked. The crust is placed on top of the filling before baking and as it cooks, it rises due to the leavening agents in the dough.

How do glaciers and ice sheets change the Earth's crust?
Continental ice sheets press down the Earth's crust. They deposit rich soil over the land. Glaciers carve valleys out of rock.
What happens to lithosphere when an ice sheet is removed?
The removal of the load causes something known as glacial isostatic rebound. The weight of the glacier causes the earth's lithosphere to deform (it squashes it). When the glacier retreats and the load is removed, the earth's lithosphere springs back to its original shape.

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.
The oceanic crust begins at the continental shelf or rise?
The oceanic crust begins at the continental rise
How does earths crust respond to addition and subtraction of mass?
When mass is added to Earth's crust, it causes the crust to subside and sink due to the increased weight. Conversely, when mass is removed from the crust, it can rebound and rise due to the decreased load. This process is known as isostatic adjustment and can result in changes in the Earth's topography.
What does yeast do in pizza?
Yeast makes the crust rise.

Will ice rise in temperature straight away when heated?
No, ice will not immediately rise in temperature when heated. Initially, the heat energy will cause the ice to melt and transition into water. Only after the ice has completely melted will the temperature of the water start to rise.
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.
