Question

the reason why the continental crust does not subduct is ____________.
isostasy
magnetism
temperature of the continental crust compared to the mantle
all of the other choices

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Isostasy refers to the state of gravitational equilibrium between the Earth's crust and mantle, which causes the continental crust to 'float' and not subduct easily. Magnetism and the temperature - related properties of the continental crust compared to the mantle are not the main reasons for the non - subduction of the continental crust.

Answer:

isostasy
