The correct statement about the flow of thermal energy inside Earth is:

Energy flow inside the mantle causes magma to rise.

In the mantle, heat causes convection currents that result in the rising of magma, while cooler, denser material may sink. This process contributes to volcanic activity and the formation of new crust.
