← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when tectonic subduction halts beneath Tibet?
A)Isostatic rebound increases plateau elevation✓
B)Widespread basaltic lava flows erupt
C)Transform faulting offsets regional features
D)Deep crustal earthquakes become more frequent
💡 Explanation
Reduced mantle drag causes isostatic rebound, because decreased downward force allows upward adjustment; therefore, plateau elevation increases rather than basaltic flows which require magma supply directly caused by ongoing plate-boundary subduction.
