A student drew a model of the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon. What change should be made to make the model more accurate?

• Nothing should be changed.

• The Moon should be below the Sun.

• The Moon should be located on the other side of the Sun.

When a volcano erupts, the magma inside of it tends to flow out. How does this cause Earth's surface to rapidly change?
