Isostatic changes… Sea level changes… and a Rice Pudding.
+1436 The planet Earth on which we stand, has a thin surface skin (lithosphere), which floats on top of a much thicker, semi-fluid, hot layer (asthenosphere). . . A home made rice pudding with a skin comes in useful to visualise this and can be used to demonstrate a much larger, real Earth occurrence. . . This real Earth occurrence is known as Isostatic Change, a vertical movement, both up and down, of the lithosphere. This can effect coastal communities by altering … Read entire article »
