Summary
Isostatic Pressure
is the concept of pressure exerted equally in all directions at a point within a fluid or
Semi-fluid material
, which is crucial in understanding how materials like rocks and
Ice Sheets
behave under stress. This principle is fundamental in geophysics and helps explain phenomena such as the
Buoyancy of the Earth's crust
and the
Formation Of Mountain Ranges
.
