Question 2 of 7

22

Why the hottest magma of the mantle rises up?

Select one of the following:

Hottest magma decreases its density because its volume increases due to more kinetic energy
Hottest magma increases its density because its volume increases due to more kinetic energy
Particles of hot magma bumps into each other with less kinetic energy and have less space in between them
