21. 21. Read the following excerpt. Underline one piece of evidence that supports the claim that the pressure from the supervolcano's magma is released often.

• This supervolcano occurs from the hot, liquid magma that rises to the Earth's crust.

• Since the boiling magma is unable to escape, it continues to build more and more pressure.

• Fortunately, a lot of the boiling pressure is emitted, or released, as hot water through geysers.

• This release of pressure can be compared to a teapot that whistles once the water is done boiling.
