Energy flow inside the mantle causes magma to rise.

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

Energy flow inside the mantle causes magma to rise.

In the mantle, thermal energy causes the lower density magma to rise due to convection currents, while cooler, denser material sinks. This process drives the movement of magma in the Earth's interior.
