Isostatic Model - Application: General Lab Equipments

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
