subduction
subduction
[명사]

a geological process where one tectonic plate moves under another and sinks into the Earth's mantle

섭입, 가라앉음

isostasy
isostasy
[명사]

the gravitational balance between Earth's rigid lithosphere and the underlying, semi-fluid asthenosphere, influencing variations in surface elevation

아이소스타시, 등정 평형

아이소스타시, 등정 평형

Ex: The rebound of land following the melting of glaciers is a classic example of isostasy, where the crust adjusts to changes in load.

lithosphere
lithosphere
[명사]

the Earth's rigid outer layer, made up of the crust and upper mantle, and divided into tectonic plates

암석권, 지구의 단단한 외부 층

암석권, 지구의 단단한 외부 층

Ex: The lithosphere includes the Earth's continental crust, forming the solid ground beneath our feet.

asthenosphere

a layer of semi-fluid rock beneath the Earth's crust that allows tectonic plates to move

연약권, 지각 아래의 반유동성 암석층

연약권, 지각 아래의 반유동성 암석층

Ex: The asthenosphere's flow allows for the movement of tectonic plates, contributing to Earth's dynamic crustal activity.
