Main Body

Isostasy refer to the region of same balance or gravity regions.

Featurescentrifugal force, experience common gravitational pull, force due to erosion involved in concept of weathering

Its Role in Shaping the Earth's Major Landforms:

1Help connect regions of various landtype.

2Helps in denudation of Rocks - [circled B] Aravalli Hills.

3Helps in Ocean current movement - thus impacting the Rainfall & altering the climate. [handwritten note with arrows]

engaged of deserts on new land.

(B1) Namibia Desert - offered.

3It helps in depositional features of a region (E2) Alluvial fans on Deltas.

4Help in elutriation of landform - Diastrophism organic (D1)tum cym - Epigenic (E) Decay Plateau.

5Maintain gravitation of settlement - (F2) Read law in Indian Ocean-ship interior of Earth.

Thus, Isostasy help shape Major landform.

(Challenges faced in Isostasy)

1Changing (Rainfall pattern) impact the Balance of climate.

2Climate change impact weathering.
