... consequences are important. Among the highly incompatible elements are K, U, and Th radioactive elements that produce the energy to drive geologic processes. In the collisional erosion hypothesis, K, U, and Th could be ~40% lower than the ‘standard model’. In the EER hypothesis, this amount of K, U, ...

Geodetic measurement of the local elastic response to the Michael Bevis
... We have found that for each cubic kilometer of water added to Lago Laja the ground at ANTC is displaced downwards by about 7.4 mm. We model this effect using a uniform elastic half-space model based on the analytical solution for the surface displacement field induced by a circular load (Love, 1929; ...

FIRST GRAVITY TRAVERSE ON THE MARTIAN SURFACE FROM
... The subsurface density estimated from these data is surprisingly low, given the occurrence of lithified sedimentary rock found consistently along the Curiosity traverse. Based on chemical composition and normative mineralogy alone, expected densities for rocks analyzed by Curiosity might be as much ...

... Layers of Earth There are four different layers of Earth. All of the layers have different names which are the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. Scientists use information gathered from seismographs after an earthquake to learn about Earths layers by studying the seismic waves. These waves ...

Isostasy and Flexure of the Lithosphere
... This passage is the first to use the term compensates. Boscovich speculates that the mass excess of the mountain is compensated in some way by a mass deficiency at depth. Thus, the deflection of a plumb line near a mountain range may well be small, as Bouguer had suspected. Little more appears to have ...

Geodesy
Geodesy (/dʒiːˈɒdɨsi/), — also known as geodetics or geodetics engineering — a branch of applied mathematics and earth sciences, is the scientific discipline that deals with the measurement and representation of the Earth, including its gravitational field, in a three-dimensional time-varying space. Geodesists also study geodynamical phenomena such as crustal motion, tides, and polar motion. For this they design global and national control networks, using space and terrestrial techniques while relying on datums and coordinate systems.
