Isostatic rebound slows down over time as the earth's crust reaches a state of isostatic equilibrium where it is balanced with the underlying mantle. As the crust continues to adjust to changes in mass distribution, the rate of rebound gradually decelerates until it eventually stabilizes.
When an object slows down it is still accelerating.
Retardation or negative acceleration or deceleration.
When a car slows down, it is experiencing negative acceleration, also known as deceleration. This means the velocity of the car decreases over time.
The special force that stops things from moving or slows them down is called friction. Friction is the resistance encountered when one object moves over another, creating heat and wearing down the surfaces in contact.
Deceleration is the rate at which an object slows down or decreases in speed over time. It is the negative acceleration of an object.
Isostatic rebound. This is a slow process where the Earth's crust adjusts after being weighed down by glaciers or ice sheets, causing it to rise back up over time.
A period of major erosion can lead to the removal of significant mass from a mountain range, causing it to rebound or rise due to isostatic adjustment. This adjustment occurs as the lithosphere beneath the mountain range readjusts to achieve equilibrium with the reduced load on top. Over time, the mountain range may experience changes in elevation and shape as a result of this isostatic adjustment process.
Yes, isostatic adjustments can occur as a result of erosion of mountain ranges. When material is eroded from the top of a mountain range, the removal of the weight causes the crust beneath to slowly rebound and readjust, leading to isostatic adjustments. Over time, this can cause the mountain range to decrease in height and the surrounding land to rise.
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.

When parents leave town for the weekend and the teenagers take over, the house may rebound backward to a more primative state in direct proportion to the civility and maturity of the teenagers! This can be applied to all societies where a more mature population (or administration) evacuates (or leaves office) and thus the less mature citizens (or leaders) exert more influence. Actual political insinuations are left to the reader.
Deceleration is the rate at which an object slows down or decreases in speed over time. It is the negative acceleration of an object.
Continental ice sheets press down the Earth's crust. They deposit rich soil over the land. Glaciers carve valleys out of rock.
