vertical deflection of Earth's surface supported by viscous stresses from mantle flow rather than by crustal thickness or density, linked to geoid patterns.

In geophysics, dynamic topography refers to vertical deflection of Earth's surface supported by viscous stresses from mantle flow rather than by crustal thickness or density, linked to geoid patterns. This meaning comes from Hager (1985) in Nature.[1]
