The correct answer to the question above is isostasy. The name for the principle that brings the floating crust into gravitational balance is isostasy. The isostasy refers to the gravitational equilibrium state of the Earth's crust and mantle.
Correct IsostasyIsostasy is the state of gravitational equilibrium between the mantle and the earth's crust. It tries to explain how different topographic heights exists on the earth surface.It tries to balance all large portions of the earth's lithosphere. It controls the regional elevations of oceans and continents according to the density of rocks.
