Question

difference between the view of airy and pratt

Answer 1

hii mate,

pratt's hypothesis of isolacy proposed that topography is produced by crustal blocks with varying density, that terminate at a uniform depth.

whereas,

airy's hypothesis of isolacy, the mountain range can be thought of as a block of lithosphere (crust) floating in asthenosphere (lava). Mountains have roots, while ocean basins have anti -roots

hope it helped u.

Answer 2

"Airy, the geologist said that the density is uniform is verifying thickness whereas Pratt deduced that there is inverse relationship between height and density and density varies with varying thickness.
Airy deduced that the roots below mountain and deeper than the roots below the plain whereas according to Pratt there is no formation of roots but only compensation levels.
