A)magnetism.
B)Moho effect.
C)isostasy.
D)orogenesis.
E)magnetic reversal

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The principle of isostasy states that the Earth's crust is in a state of balance or equilibrium due to buoyancy forces. When there are fluctuations in the crust, whether it is due to erosion or mountain building, the crust will adjust itself to maintain equilibrium. This is known as isostasy. Therefore, choice C is the best answer.
