Isostasy explains how the weight of large objects, such as ice caps, affects the elevation of connected land masses. When an ice cap rests on a region, it causes surrounding areas to be pushed up. For instance, the Isle of Wight in the English Channel was elevated due to the weight of an ice cap in northern Scotland. Now, as the ice cap has receded, the Isle of Wight is slowly sinking—not due to sea level rise, but due to changes in isostatic balance. This process also affects geological features like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. • • ----------------------------------------------------------------- • #Isostasy #EarthScience #Geology #IceAge #LandMass #ClimateChange #EarthProcesses #MidAtlanticRidge #GeologicalPhenomenon #EnvironmentalScience #limitless #limitlesspodcast
