Model Isostasie

Product Description

MODEL ISOSTASIE

• Non-messy: salt water Composition- Hemi cylindrical tank that filled by two types of liquids: - salt water - water-based gel - plastic parts of different colors with a density of about 0.83- two sliding indexes - two scales.
• The average density ratio (0,818) crust / coat being respected, the vertical movements during the handling are done in the same proportions as the reality.
• The plastic pieces of different colors make it possible to model different rocks and illustrate the phenomenon of erosion.
• The white pieces are used to model the melting of a polar ice cap.
• The graded scale illustrated by the sea level and the different indications of average depth of the continental crust allows making a quantitative study.
• To study illustrating the phenomenon of melting of a polar cap.
• To be able to observe the delay effect of the rebalancing, the manipulation carried out in the gel with water base.
• Density ratio slightly less precise : 0.87.
• Description- Set of 18 stackable elements of 0.83 density (16 elements of 3 assorted colors simulating the continental crust, 2 white color simulating the ice cap), - 2 removable graduated scales (one with value and one without value)  Total height : 380 mm
