1 answer

The correct order of events that describes the processes for magma to become sand is:

heating, cooling, erosion

Here's a brief explanation of the processes:

  1. Heating: Magma from the Earth's interior is heated.
  2. Cooling: When magma reaches the surface or near-surface and cools, it solidifies into igneous rock.
  3. Erosion: Over time, weathering and erosion break down the igneous rock into smaller particles, including sand.

So the best choice among your options is "heating, cooling, erosion."
