What else can I help you with?
Why does magma sometimes push through earth's surface and make a volcano?
because of pressure
Why does molten rock escape from under the earths surface in certain places?
Molten rock, or magma, escapes from beneath the Earth's surface through volcanic eruptions due to the build-up of pressure from the movement of tectonic plates. This pressure can push the magma upwards through cracks or weaknesses in the Earth's crust, resulting in volcanic activity.
Describe how a dome mountain can eventually form out of magma that hardened beneath earths surface?
A dome mountain forms when magma is injected into the Earth's crust and starts to push upward, creating a bulge or dome shape. As the magma cools and solidifies beneath the surface, it forms a layer of hardened rock. Over time, erosion gradually removes the overlying layers, exposing the dome-shaped mountain.
Does Magma push towards the Earth's surface through cracks?
Yes, magma pushes towards the Earth's surface through cracks in the crust, a process known as volcanic activity. When pressure builds up beneath the surface, magma can force its way through weak points in the crust, such as fractures or faults, leading to volcanic eruptions.
How does hot spot form?
A hot spot is formed on a point of the earths surface where strong upward convection currents or plumes of hot magma in the upper mantle push up below the plates of the lithosphere causing volcanic activity. no it doesn'twhen the mantle is weak
What causes magma to flow upward thought the earths surface?
The tectonic plates push together thus causing magma to shoot up and rise hence an eruption
Can density difference force magma upward into cooler layers of earths interior?
FALSE: gravity cannot force magma upwards, gravity can olny force downwars. the reason magma shoots from the earths interior is because the pressure from the magma trying to push through the force gravity causes an eruption.

Why does magma work its way to the surface?
when rocks push both way and they form a mountains or volcanoand they can make earthquakes
When magma from beneath the earth project surface is push up but doesn't actually crack through?
Sometimes it matters how strong the magma is because it has to have alot of force to break through
Does it act like a solid or liquid when you push the handle end of the spoon into the surface of the magma like sample?
they both are cells
What do most geologists think cause the movement of earths plates?
Most geologists believe that the movement of Earth's tectonic plates is primarily driven by convection currents in the mantle. As hot magma rises toward the surface, it cools and sinks back down, creating a cyclical motion that helps to push and pull the plates above. Additionally, the process of slab pull, where dense oceanic plates sink into the mantle at subduction zones, and ridge push, where new material is added at mid-ocean ridges, also contribute to plate movement. These mechanisms work together to shape the dynamic nature of Earth's surface.
Did wind push continents together?
No. The continents 'float' on a huge reservoir of magma - melted rock - and the deep underground/undersea forces push the continents slowly but unstoppably around on the surface of the globe.
