Identify which of the following statements accurately reflect the principles of John Henry Pratt's theory of isostasy:
-
Variations in topographic height are compensated by lateral variations in crustal density.
-
The Earth's crust floats at different heights due to differences in density, not thickness.
-
The thickness of the Earth's crust is uniform, and variations in elevation are explained by crustal density.
-
Lower-density materials in mountains extend deeper into the mantle, creating equilibrium to support elevation.
