Question

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Consider the following statements:
1. Igneous rocks form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies.
2. Magma originates deep within the Earth near active plate boundaries or hot spots, then rises toward the surface.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are true ?

• A. 1 only
• B. 2 only
• C. Both 1 and 2
• D. Neither 1 nor 2

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Igneous rocks form when magma cools and crystallizes, either at volcanoes on the surface of the Earth or while the melted rock is still inside the crust. Magma forms near active plate boundary and buoyantly rises toward the Earth's surface, due to its lower density than the source rock.
