Flexural isostasy states that this massive region should force the planet's surface downward. But the reverse is true. Tharsis Montes is much more elevated than the rest of Mars' surface. NASA's ...

Isostasy and flexure of the lithosphere by Watts, A. B. (Anthony Brian), 1945- Publication date 2001 Topics Isostasy, Earth (Planet) -- Crust Publisher Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University ...

As tectonic plates move and shift towards each other, one of the plates is forced downwards into Earth's mantle; as the plates buckle and fold, mountain ranges subsequently appear on the surface. The ...

Balances and Buzz Saws A mountain’s elevation results from a balancing act between three main factors: tectonic uplift, isostasy, and erosion. Mountain ranges form when tectonic plates collide ...

Pratt isostasy predicts that high-density minerals should be concentrated preferentially in craters and low-density minerals in mountains. But Sori found no such correlation, so he rejected the idea.
