The correct answer is - b. increased dramatically.

In the early stages of the human development there hasn't been any changes in the amount of sediments in the rivers, but since the human kind started to settle in, perform activities that the Earth had never experienced before, and the sheer mass of the population, the sediments in the rivers have increased significantly.

The biggest impact the humans had had to contribute to this, is the erosion. Because of the needs the humans have, they have destroyed lots of natural cover of the soil, thus making it very easy to erode, and with the much increased erosion of the soil, the more sediments have started to go into the rivers.

_______ is the point where some region of the lithosphere reaches its ultimate elevation and stops rising. A. Orogeny B. Isostat
mestny [16]

Answer:

B. Isostatic equilibrium

Explanation:

Isostasy is a state of balance or equilibrium between the lithospheric plate and the underlying mantle, the asthenosphere.

Due to the weight of the lithosphere, part of it sinks into the plastic asthenosphere and settles to an equilibrium position. This is what causes changes and differences in elevation on the earth.

As with all natural processes, the earth in itself tries to achieve stability and equilibrium in all it parts. The crust and a portion of the mantle forms the brittle lithosphere. The lithosphere floats on the plastic mantle. Due to density contrast, portions of the lithosphere tends to sink into the mantle from time to time. The lithosphere reaches a point where it no longer sinks and establishes an equilibrium with the asthenosphere.

This isostatic adjustment that occurs within the earth is responsible for the changes in elevations from places to places.

When portions of the crust gets eroded, it becomes lighter and rises up. When materials are deposited in adjacent areas or glaciers forms, they add increasing weight to the crust and causes it to further settle within the asthenosphere.
