Water that is heated expands and rises to the

surface of the tray. Similarly, the magma expands and

rises to the surface of the tray. Similarly, the magma

nearer the core expands and rises to top of the mantle.

What causes magma to rise to earths surface?

The magma is in the mantle, the layer under the crust. There is a convection current caused by radioactivity in the inner core which causes the plates to move. Therefore the constructive plates move apart which means magma can rise up. It'll then solidify and this is what makes volcanoes. Hence CONSTRUCTive.
