isostatically

The removal of mass from a region will be isostatically compensated by crustal rebound.

The land is still emerging isostatically from its subsident state, which was caused by the weight of the last glaciation.

Finally, major and rapid horizontal extension lifts the terrain isostatically and isothermally.

At the same time, crustal extension took place because the mountain range was isostatically unstable (this is called orogenic collapse).

Parts processed in an autoclave are often vacuum bagged to enable the pressure to operate isostatically on the workpieces.

At its end, during the cooler prelude of MIS 5d, c, b and a, the region continued to rise isostatically.

These volcanoes are large landforms which load the underlying crust and are partly isostatically supported by deep roots (Fig. 5.4).

Stishovite may also be synthesized by duplicating these conditions in the laboratory, either isostatically or through shock (see shocked quartz)

While subsidence is maintained by sediment loading, the surrounding upland areas supplying sediment will rise isostatically through unloading.

With no stripping action of flowing water, and no upheavals, on a perfectly isostatically balanced land, there is little chance for geological exploration, save by tunneling.

The removal of such a mass from the core of the range most likely caused further uplift as the region adjusted isostatically in response to the removed weight.

This material when hot isostatically pressed (HIPed) can be converted to a water-clear form known as Cleartran (trademark).

The high elevations of the Axial Zone (generally above 3000 m) are compensated isostatically by an increased thickness of the continental crust.

The great heights of the Altiplano, Codillera Occidental and Cordillera Oriental are isostatically compensated by an up to 70 km deep crust.

Initially, when the ice began melting about 10,300 BP, seawater filled the isostatically depressed area, a temporary marine incursion that geologists dub the Yoldia Sea.

The weight of the ice had isostatically depressed the surface as much as 270-280 m below its current level, making the Tyrrell Sea much larger than modern Hudson Bay.

The small hexagonal or square ceramic tiles are encased within the matrix either by isostatically pressing them into the heated matrix, or by gluing them with an epoxy resin.

For large scale CNC production, DF parts are often used to reduce per part costs, at the expense of material properties which are inferior to those of isostatically produced basic shapes.

Although almost level today, it is a relic of a massive impact and once was a deep impact crater whose walls have slumped and its floor has risen isostatically, smoothing out the remaining topography with slush.

Hypersaline lakes are fairly common in coastal areas of the Arctic which have until recently been ice covered, and since liberation have risen isostatically from below sea level (Figure 4.2); see Hattersley-Smith and others (1970).

If a change in surface height represents an isostatically compensated change in crustal thickness, the rate of change of potential energy per unit surface area is proportional to the rate of increase of average surface height.

More dynamic models propose isostatically induced flexural tilting of an initial subhorizontal fault, to an active high-angle fault, to final abandonment as a subhorizontal structure; these models require MCC detachment faults and their footwalls to have been tilted by 30-60 .

If we take into consideration typical crustal and mantle densities, erosion of an average 100 meters of rock across a broad, uniform surface will cause the crust to isostatically rebound 85 meters and will cause only a 15 meter loss of mean surface elevation.

In geology, his work included sedimentation in isostatically driven tectonic basins, the active margins of continental plates, physical chemistry of evaporite and pelagic diagenesis, documentation of granulite formation, catastrophic consequences of meteorite impacts, extinction of life forms and the limnology of Lake Zurich.
