Domain-specific

• Isostasy
  • Ocean basins and oceanic lithosphere. In marine geophysics, the systematic deepening of the seafloor with crustal age — the Parsons–Sclater age–depth relation — is isostatic: as oceanic lithosphere cools, thickens, and densifies away from the ridge, it subsides to maintain the column balance, so bathymetry encodes thermal age
