A simple model fig considers a continent as a block density


A simple model (Fig) considers a continent as a block (density ˜ 2800 kg/m3) floating in the mantle rock around it (density ˜3300 kg.m3). Assuming the continent is 35 thick (the average thickness of the Earth's continental crust), estimate the height of the continent above the surrounding rock.
