Isostatic compensation is the process by which the Earth's crust compensates for imbalances in mass above and below sea level. It's a result of plate tectonics and other external forces that disturb the balance between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere. These disturbances cause compensatory movements that shape the Earth's surface.
