What happens to a mountain in terms of isostatic adjustment following a period of significant erosion?

A) The continent underneath will be uplifted.
B) The continent underneath will subside.
C) Erosion does not affect isostasy.

Isostatic Adjustment

The equilibrium adjustment of the Earth's crust due to changes in load (such as the melting of glaciers), affecting the crust's vertical movement.

Significant Erosion

The process whereby soil, rock, and other surface material are removed from one location and transported elsewhere, typically by wind, water, or ice, in a manner that noticeably alters the landscape.

Mountain

A natural elevation of the Earth's surface rising significantly above the surrounding landscape, often formed through tectonic forces or volcanism.
