Question

Cool magma _________whereas hot magma_________.

  1. Sinks, rises
  2. Rises, rises
  3. Sinks, sinks
  4. Rises, sinks

hintHint:

Sinks, rises

The correct answer is: Sinks, rises


    • Denser material sinks while less dense material rises.
    • Means that magma near the crust is cooling, becoming more dense and sinking until it heats up again and rises.
    • Therefore, cool magma sinks whereas hot magma rises.
    • So, the correct option is a.

    • Where plates converge, one plate may move under the other causing earthquakes, forming volcanoes, or creating deep ocean trenches.
    • Where plates diverge from each other, molten magma flows upward between the plates, forming mid-ocean ridges, underwater volcanoes, hydrothermal vents, and new ocean floor crust.
