Question

rising magma pushes on the crust above it, which can cause ground deformation. which event is most likely to occur at this location?
a. a tsunami
b. a volcanic eruption
c. liquefaction
d. an earthquake

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. When magma rises and exerts pressure on the crust, it is a key precursor to a volcanic eruption. Tsunamis are usually caused by underwater earthquakes or landslides. Liquefaction occurs when soil behaves like a liquid during an earthquake. Earthquakes are mainly due to the movement of tectonic plates along faults (though volcanic activity can sometimes trigger small - scale seismic activity, but the main event here related to magma is eruption).

Answer:

B. A volcanic eruption
