B. magma
C. gabbro
D. lava
Answer (3)
Option: ** D. lava** ;
The correct answer is - D. Lava.
Lava or lava flow is a product of the magma below the surface. It is consisted of molten rock, gases, and minerals. It reaches the surface with the help of the geothermal energy and it is expelled on the surface of the Earth (or other planets or moons) through fractures in the crust or through volcanic eruptions. It's temperature ranges anywhere from 700 to 1200 C degrees. Ones the lava is on the surface and stops moving it solidifies and forms igneous rocks.
The correct answer is D. Lava , which refers to molten rock, gases, and minerals reaching the Earth’s surface during volcanic eruptions. Lava is formed when magma escapes from underground, cools, and solidifies into igneous rock. This process plays a crucial role in understanding volcanic activity and geological formations.
