Connexus is right! I got 100%!

Oops on A I said the wrong word

The answer is B

I meant connexus students

To determine the correct answer, let's analyze each option and identify the correct sequence of steps needed for magma in the lower mantle to become sand:

A. Cooling, then erosion, then celebration: Celebration is not a relevant step in the process of magma becoming sand, so option A can be eliminated.

B. Convection, then cooling, then erosion: Convection refers to the transfer of heat through the movement of fluid material, which is relevant in the mantle. Cooling is necessary for magma to solidify into a solid rock. Erosion, however, refers to the wearing away of materials, which is not a step in the formation of sand. Therefore, option B is also incorrect.

C. Heating, then cooling, then erosion: The initial heating step contradicts the process of magma cooling down and solidifying into a rock. Hence, option C is not correct.

D. Convection, then cooling, then compression: Convection is relevant to the movement of heat in the mantle. Cooling is necessary for magma to solidify into rock. Compression refers to the application of pressure, which could play a role in the formation of sand from solidified rocks. Therefore, option D seems to be the most accurate.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. Convection, then cooling, then compression.
