In a 1967 article, Arthur Bloom put forth a new test of this geological idea. One frequently used model of it is the Vening Meinesz Model, developed by the namesake Dutch geophysicist, who accounted for flexure and shear strength and extended the old description from local to regional. American engineer J.F. Hayford built upon the Pratt Model of it, which assumes a horizontal base with equal pressure. On the other hand, the Airy Model explains topographic height differences by suggesting ►that crust differs in density. FTP, give this geological term for the idea that tectonic plates "float" buoyantly in a dynamic equilibrium, taken from the Greek for "equal standing."
