Uplift and subsidence are both ultimately the result of ________.
A)gravitational resistance
B)convectional heating
C)external energy
D)plate tectonics

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Uplift and subsidence are primarily driven by plate tectonic movement, such as the uplift of mountain ranges through collision of tectonic plates, or the subsidence of areas due to plate divergence or the sinking of the lithosphere. Gravitational resistance, convectional heating, and external energy may play secondary or supportive roles in these processes, but they are not the main cause.
