Mountains Float Crust
Mountains Float Crust explores the fascinating concept of isostasy, revealing how mountain ranges interact with Earth''s lithosphere and mantle. It explains how mountains, less dense than the mantle, essentially "float," displacing a volume equivalent to their mass. The book highlights how erosion, by removing material from mountain peaks, reduces the load on the crust, triggering further uplift.
