Giant, dense structures have been discovered beneath the surface of Mars and they are leaving experts both mystified and ...

Flexural isostasy states that this massive region should force the planet's surface downward. But the reverse is true.

Recent gravity studies of Mars have uncovered large, dense structures hidden beneath the planet's surface, offering new ...

A new gravity map of Mars reveals hidden structures and active mantle processes, challenging established geological theories.

The Innovation Geoscience, Vol. 2, Issue. 1, p. 100047. Isostasy is a simple concept, yet it has long perplexed students of geology and geophysics. This fully updated edition provides the tools to ...

The theory of isostasy is illustrated using the town of Stonehaven in Scotland as an example. During an ice age, the build-up of ice presses down on the land and the sea level drops. When the ice ...

It provides a solid grounding for future study and research covering plate tectonics, stress & strain, elasticity, isostasy & the flexural strength of the lithosphere, gravity, and thermal processes.

This unique book presents an overview of isostasy, a phenomenon of fundamental importance to the earth sciences. Isostasy is a simple concept, yet it has long perplexed students. To overcome this ...
