Question

isostasy refers to the balance between which two factors? crustal buoyancy and mantle convection plate movement and volcanic activity crustal thickness and density erosion and deposition question 16

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Isostasy is a principle in geology. It is about the balance between the buoyancy of the Earth's crust (crustal buoyancy) and the convective forces in the mantle (mantle convection). Plate movement and volcanic activity are more related to tectonic processes. Crustal thickness and density are factors within the crust but not the main balance in isostasy. Erosion and deposition are surface - level geological processes not related to isostasy.

Answer:

Crustal buoyancy and mantle convection
