Question

choose the statements below that are true about magma’s role in the rock cycle. choose two
(volcano hunters)

• people heat magma so that it can move through the rock cycle.
• magma cools slowly underground to form igneous rocks.
• eruptions bring magma above ground, where it becomes lava. this lava solidifies to form new rocks.
• the sun heats up magma, which moves matter through the stages of the rock cycle.

look at the data table to determine the location that likely has volcanoes. which location do you think volcanoes...

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first option: People do not heat magma; natural geological processes drive magma movement, so this is false.
2. Analyze the second option: Magma cools slowly underground, crystallizing to form intrusive igneous rocks, which is a correct geological process.
3. Analyze the third option: During eruptions, magma (lava when above ground) cools and solidifies to form extrusive igneous rocks, contributing to the rock cycle, so this is correct.
4. Analyze the fourth option: Magma is heated by Earth's internal heat (not the Sun) to drive the rock cycle, so this is false.

Answer:

B. Magma cools slowly underground to form igneous rocks, C. Eruptions bring magma above ground, where it becomes lava. This lava solidifies to form new rocks.
