What happens to the lithosphere when an ice sheet is removed?

Geography
2 answers:
AlexFokin [52]4 years ago

The removal of the load causes something known as glacial isostatic rebound. The weight of the glacier causes the earth's lithosphere to deform (it squashes it). When the glacier retreats and the load is removed, the earth's lithosphere <span>springs back to its original shape.

x=4

now use Pythagorean theorem

5=\sqrt{x^{2} +3^{2} }

x=\sqrt{5^{2}-3^{2}  }

x = \sqrt{16}

x = 4, -4
