How are magma's formed?

• Magma's are formed through movement of rocks and minerals.

• Magma's are formed under the earth’s mantle with the help of worms.

• Magma's are formed through heating and cooling of materials on the earth’s surface

• Magma's are formed under certain circumstances in special location deep in the crust or in the upper mantle.

A weak spot in the crust where molten material comes to the surface

• earthquake

• mountain

• tsunami

• volcano

Why does magma move up to and through Earth's crust?

• It is cooler than crust.

• It is more viscous that ocean water.

• It is more dense than surrounding rock.

• It is less dense than surrounding rock.

What is the physical property that describes a material's resistance to flow?

• Buoyancy

• Fluidity

• Surface Tension

• Viscosity

The composition of magma determines its
