Question

Differentiate between the idea of Airy and Pratt by giving any two examples.

Answer 1

Answer:

Airy, the geologist said that the density is uniform with varying thickness whereas Pratt deduced that there is an inverse relationship between height and density and density varies with varying thickness.

Airy deduced that the roots below mountain are deeper the roots below the plain whereas according to the Pratt there is no formation of roots but only compensation level.

Answer 2

Differentiate between the idea of Airy and Pratt by giving any two examples.

Explanation:

• Both of them have given the concept of the Isostasy which means to stand still and is the state of the gravitational equilibrium that depends on the thickness and the density.

• The theory given by the sir airy was that as hypothesized that the earth crust is more rigid shell that is floating on a more liquid substratum of the greater density and is he observed that the structure of the earth into uniform and so this theory states that the thicker part sinks downwards into the substratum and thus the mountain have roots deep down under.

• As compared to the pratt hypothesis developed by the John Henry Pratt who supposed that the earth crust has a uniform thickness below the sea level and has its base supported by an equal weight and thus the mountains have an upwards extension and a locally heated clustered materials.

• The example of the pratt is the lateral variation of the temperature or the pressure.
