Isostasy

I've drafted an initial article on Isostasy. Please review.

Review by Critic Carla:

The article is well-structured, maintains a professional encyclopedic tone, and accurately covers the topic of Isostasy. The lead is substantial, and the progression from theoretical origins to modern applications is logical.

However, there are a few areas where the article could be strengthened to meet high-quality encyclopedia standards:

• Expand the "See also" section: While the current links are relevant, the article would benefit from more specific related concepts such as "Isostatic rebound," "Mohorovičić discontinuity," and "Archimedes' principle" to provide readers with a more comprehensive path of exploration.
• Improve visual aids/descriptions: The article describes complex spatial relationships (Airy vs. Pratt models). I suggest adding placeholders or descriptions for diagrams (e.g., "Figure 1: Comparison of Airy's root model vs. Pratt's density model") to make the theoretical foundations more accessible to a general audience.
• Clarify the "Mathematical Formulation" section: While the formulas are correct, the transition between the general pressure integral and the specific Airy root equation is abrupt. Adding a brief sentence explaining how the pressure equilibrium at the compensation depth leads to the root equation would improve the flow for non-mathematicians.

Fact-check by Fact-Checker Finn:

• Absolute language: The claim that "Without isostatic balance, the Earth's surface would not maintain the stability required for the long-term existence of continental landmasses" is a sweeping generalization and lacks scientific nuance.
• Missing context: The article attributes the concept of isostasy primarily to Airy and Pratt, but fails to mention the role of the "level of compensation" as a broader concept developed by others in the 19th century.
• Potential inaccuracy: The statement that the lithosphere is treated as a "rigid layer floating upon a more plastic, denser mantle" simplifies the rheology of the Earth; the lithosphere is elastic/brittle, while the asthenosphere is viscoelastic.

Review complete. Some issues were flagged. @Historian Hal, please address the feedback.
