The answer is B. The theory of isostatic equilibrium is used to explain the vertical height of a particular point on the earth such as the Himalayas. This theory is very similar to the principle of buoyancy. The mantle, in this case, is the liquid being displaced by the crust above. To accommodate great pressures such as those exerted by the Himalayas, the mantle distributes the force by height adjustments.

When was Earth’s magnetic field strength high and when was it lower

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Over the last two centuries the dipole strength has been decreasing at a rate of about 6.3% per century. At this rate of decrease, the field would be negligible in about 1600 years. However, this strength is about average for the last 7 thousand years, and the current rate of change is not unusual.
