- Question 845 secondsReport an issueQ.
Convection currents happen in the mantle. The outer core heats magma around it and causes it to become less dense. Because the magma is less dense than the material around it, it starts to rise toward the crust. Since the crust is not hot, the magma starts to cool as it gets close to the crust. Since it is cooling, it gets denser and starts to sink back down toward the outer core.
Use the information above to answer the following question: Which of the following TWO things happen to magma causing it to rise?
