Planetary Isostasy

Planetary Isostasy is a geophysical theory in planetary geophysics that describes the large-scale gravitational and buoyant equilibrium of a planet’s or moon’s outer shell, in which surface loads and topography are compensated by variations in crustal/lithospheric thickness or density above a deeper, nearly hydrostatic interior.
