What is the name given to the area where volcanoes often occur because convection in the earths mantle produces a column of magma that rises into the crust?
hotspots
Why does magma in the mantle rise through the crust above it?
magma comes from the outer core and when an earthquake or something happends, a crack froms and the pressure of lava shoots up like a geyser.
Does the magma and lava from a volcano come from the mantle?
Yes it does , The magma finds gaps through the crust ( oceanic or continental) and comes up as a volcano. It is originally in the mantle.
What are tectonic made of Magma and solid mantle crust and magma crust and solid mantle solid rock and molten rock?
Igneous rock
Magma forms when solid rock in the crust and upper mantle?
Cools ^ If you took this answer then is Magma relevant to Ice? Magma forms when the solid rock in the crust and upper mantle melts. ^Why not erase it then?

hotspots
How do hotspots form in the mantle?
At a hot spot, the mantle directly beneath the crust is hotter than usual. This hot mantle material partially melts. The molten material, called magma, rises through the crust and erupts onto the surface for form volcanoes.

What is the hypothesis of volcanoes?
Magma from the mantle of the earth is forced up through fissures in the crust of the earth.
What is an area where magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust above?
Hot spot.
Where do you get your magma from?
Magma comes from the melting of material in the crust or upper mantle.

Where does magma originate?
Magma originates from within the earth's interior; in the crust or mantle.
