What happens during isostatic rebound?

Post-glacial rebound (sometimes called continental rebound, glacial isostasy, glacial isostatic adjustment) is the rise of land masses that were depressed by the huge weight of ice sheets during the last glacial period, through a process known as isostasy.


When the earth's crust slowly springs back to its original elevation it is called?

it is called rebound.


As erosion removes the tops of mountains the crust will rise upwards This is an example of what?

Isostasy


When a glacier melts and there is no longer a heavy burden of ice on the crustal rock the land will rise this is called?

Isostatic rebound.


How wounld a period of major erosion affect the isostatic adjustment of a mountain range?

The crust will rebound. (uplift will occur)


When does the isostatic rebound of an area stop?

I am here because i googled this same question, but i think i have a hypothesis of my own, which would be that yes it should stop eventually. There are vast areas of the Earth that have no area of isostatic activity - check out the wikipedia on post glacial rebound and there is a map that shows regions. I would imagine that this since this is an energy state issue , balancing with gravity, that the system would tend to settle as soon as possible. If we look at varying geologic areas effected by isostatic rebound it seems like they occur, in then remain static. iso static , a series of teeter-totter weights and balances, on the surface of the crust.


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?

Isostatic rebound. love ya Geography Questions.


The Great Lakes area was once covered by thick sheets of ice When the ice melted, the land around began to rise What is the name of that process?

isostatic rebound


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.


Areas of the crust which are no longer covered with continental glaciers are probably still experiencing what?

They are experiencing isostatic rebound, a rise in elevation due to the release of downward pressure from the exited ice.


A student used a model the displacement of rock at a fault during an earthquake. The student bent the yardstick without breaking it and then let it go . What process did the student show?

Isostatic rebound. apex


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.
