Question

fill in the blank question heat flow through earths layers causes convection currents in the mantle. when magma rises up toward the crust it pushes upward on the rock layers above it. made of deformed rock layers form from this type of magma movement.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The question is about geological processes related to magma movement and rock layer deformation. The key term here is "Domes" (or "Dome" - but in the context of rock formations from magma pushing upward, "Domes" or more precisely "Magma Domes" or just "Domes" as a type of deformed rock layer formed by this upward magma movement. Wait, actually, the correct term for the deformed rock layers formed when magma pushes upward on rock layers above is "Domes" (specifically, "Igneous Domes" or "Magma Domes", but in the context of this question, the answer is likely "Domes" or more accurately, the term is "Dome" (singular) or "Domes" (plural). Wait, no, the process is when magma rises and pushes the overlying rock layers upward, forming a dome - shaped structure. So the blank should be filled with "Domes" (or "Dome" depending on context, but likely "Domes" as the rock layers form domes). Alternatively, the term could be "Batholiths" but no, batholiths are large intrusions. Wait, no, the correct term here is "Domes" (or "Magma Domes") but more accurately, the geological structure formed when magma pushes upward on the rock layers above is a "Dome" (or "Domes" as multiple layers form domes). Wait, actually, the answer is "Domes" (or "Dome" - but let's confirm: when magma rises toward the crust and pushes the overlying sedimentary or other rock layers upward, it forms a dome - shaped structure, so the deformed rock layers are called "Domes" (or the structure is a dome, so the blank is "Domes" (or "Dome" but likely "Domes" as the layers form domes). Alternatively, the term is "Plutons" but no, plutons are intrusive igneous bodies. Wait, no, the key here is the deformation of rock layers due to upward magma movement, forming domes. So the answer is "Domes".

Answer:

Domes
