Mountains Float Like Icebergs in Earth Crust
The coast and geodetic survey under Dr William Bowie and Prof John Hayford report that mountain masses rest on lighter crustal material. The crust in about sixty miles thickness supports blocks of equal weight, with mountains rising from buoyant underlayers. Flow below the crust may shift material, keeping mountain elevations roughly constant.
