Regional Compensation

Regional Compensation is a geological model within the theory of isostasy that explains the elevation of Earth's crust over laterally extensive regions by invoking regional flexural support of the lithosphere, distinguishing it from local or idealized isostatic compensation mechanisms through its incorporation of the mechanical rigidity and spatially distributed load distribution of the crust and upper mantle.
