Answer 2

Answer:

Isostatic Equilibrium or isostasy is the correct option.

Explanation:

• The principle of isostatic equilibrium or isostasy governs the rise or subsidence of the crust until the mass is buoyantly balanced so that all parts of the lithosphere are in a floating equilibrium.
• Clarence Dutton, an American geologist, coined the term Isostasy in 1899.
• Isostasy is the principle of buoyancy where an object submerged in a liquid is buoyed with a force equal to the weight of the displaced liquid.
