A)Magnetism.
B)Moho effect.
C)Isostasy.
D)Orogenesis.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The property described in the question is isostasy, which refers to the balance between the weight of Earth's outer crust and the buoyancy force provided by the underlying mantle. This balance can be disrupted by changes in the weight of the crust, such as due to erosion or the deposition of sediment, leading to fluctuations in the crust's elevation. The Moho effect refers to the boundary between Earth's crust and mantle, while magnetism and orogenesis refer to other geological phenomena.
