Sentences with phrase «solid earth deformation»

Moreover, solid earth deformation and redistribution of ocean water influence each other, because the ocean represents a load on the Earth's surface.

Not exact matches

Regional variations arise because the Earth's gravity field is affected in multiple ways by the melt of ice, due to the direct effect of surface mass changes (the gravity field is determined by the distribution of mass), the consequent deformation of the Solid Earth (removing a load causes the Earth's surface to rebound, which in turn changes the distribution of the Earth's mass), the consequent redistribution of ocean water (the ocean surface is shaped by the gravity filed) and perturbations of the Earth's rotation axis (because of mass redistribution).

However the deformation of the solid Earth by ice sheet loading is so extensive that both the elastic crust and plastic mantle are involved.
