Question

multiple choice question heat flow through earth’s layers causes convection currents in the mantle. magma rises up toward the crust and sinks back down as it cools. magma causes enough stress on the crust to cause it to split apart and move away from the break? what forms when rising earthquake ocean basin subduction volcano

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Earthquake: Caused by sudden crustal movement, not directly by rising magma forming.
• Ocean basin: Forms from tectonic plate movements like seafloor spreading, not from rising magma cooling.
• Subduction: Involves one plate sliding under another, not magma cooling to form a structure.
• Volcano: Forms when magma rises, reaches the surface, and cools, building up volcanic landforms. This matches the description of magma rising and forming as it cools.

Answer:

D. volcano
