The answer is isostasy. The theory states that equilibrium is constantly sought as the lithosphere floats on the denser mantle beneath. One theory of isostasy is that places of high elevation such as mountains have low densities 'roots' pressing deep into the mantle.

Connell's famous barnacle experiment was initiated to learn more about ________.
bulgar [2K]
Connell's famous barnacle experiment was initiated to learn more about competitive exclusion and distribution of branacle species. Barnacle species are distributed in distinct zones on the rocky shores of the Atlantic coast. The Chthamalus in upper intertidal zone; is a smaller species and the semibalanus in low intertidal zone which is a larger species. Chthamalus found in the higher physical stress and higher temperatures because the low tide levels causes them to be exposed to the extreme outside environment for longer periods of time than the semibalanus. Additionally barnacles can only feed while submerged and the higher up shore a barnacle is, the less it can feed and grow. The experiment wanted to understand why they lived this way.
