Heat from magma deep beneath the Earth's surface warms underground water, which then rises due to temperature differences. This heated water emerges naturally, creating geothermal features.

Which feature forms when water is situated over underground magma and becomes very warm?

dike
hot spring
lava plateau
mud pot

hot spring

Explanation: When groundwater sits above hot magma and is warmed, it rises and emerges at the surface as a hot spring. (A mud pot is a related geothermal feature formed when acidic hot water mixes with clay; a dike and a lava plateau are igneous rock formations.)
