Question
what may form when magma comes to the surface?
○ a trench
○ a fault
○ a volcano
○ a ridge
Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. When it erupts onto the surface, it is called lava. Volcanoes are openings in the Earth's crust through which magma, ash, and gases erupt. A trench is a deep, narrow depression in the ocean floor (usually formed by subduction). A fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust where blocks of rock have moved past each other. A ridge (like a mid - ocean ridge) is formed by tectonic plate separation and upwelling of magma, but the direct formation when magma comes to the surface is a volcano.
