The correct answer is: a line of cliffs formed from eroded volcanic rock. (1 point)
To arrive at this answer, we can break down each response and analyze it:
1. "A series of lakes formed after the collapse of a volcano": This response is not correct because the Palisades are not lakes. They are cliffs, as mentioned in the other options.
2. "A set of islands formed through a hot spot": This response is not correct because the Palisades are not islands. They are cliffs.
3. "A line of cliffs formed from eroded volcanic rock": This response is correct. The Palisades are a line of cliffs in New York and New Jersey that were formed from the erosion of volcanic rock over millions of years.
4. "A group of geysers formed after a volcanic eruption": This response is not correct because the Palisades are not geysers. They are cliffs.
Based on the analysis, option 3 accurately describes the Palisades as a line of cliffs formed from eroded volcanic rock.
