"equilibrium" in inglés with examples - Collocation dictionary inglés
- When a certain area of lithosphere reaches the state of isostasy, it is said to be in isostatic equilibrium.
- Gravitational measurements were showing that many areas are not in isostatic equilibrium.
- Theoretical considerations imply that a topographic low in isostatic equilibrium would exhibit a slight negative gravitational anomaly.
- Thus, when loaded, the lithosphere progressively reaches an isostatic equilibrium, which is the name of the Archimedes principle applied to these geological settings.
- In practice, for a given area to remain in isostatic equilibrium, there would always be a limiting factor.
- But here tectonic pressures must have produced the subsidence and prevented the immediate re-establishment of isostatic equilibrium.
- The crust is now also abnormally thick (about 70km) but gravity measurements indicate that it is in approximate isostatic equilibrium.
- But even with a rigid outer Moon gravitational forces would have raised the floor most of the way towards isostatic equilibrium.
- Any such deep body of liquid is likely to rise to a level corresponding to isostatic equilibrium, and there would be none of the observed mascons.
- Thus, even if, as seems unlikely for a cold Moon, isostatic equilibrium was subsequently achieved there would still be a residual basin.
