Select the correct answer from the list.(2 points) As magma heats in the mantle, it becomes (more porous, less dense, solid) and begins to (break apart, rise, sink). This results in the magma traveling to the crust where it cools and becomes (sedimentary, metamorphic, igneous) rock.

As magma heats in the mantle, it becomes (less dense) and begins to (rise). This results in the magma traveling to the crust where it cools and becomes (igneous) rock.
To select the correct answer, we need to understand the different stages of magma as it moves through Earth's layers.
1. As magma heats in the mantle, it becomes (more porous, less dense, solid): The correct answer is "less dense." Heating causes the magma to become less dense and more buoyant.
2. As magma becomes less dense, it begins to (break apart, rise, sink): The correct answer is "rise." Since it is less dense than its surroundings, the magma tends to move upward towards the Earth's crust.
3. As the magma travels to the crust, it cools and becomes (sedimentary, metamorphic, igneous) rock: The correct answer is "igneous." When magma cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rocks.
Therefore, the correct answers are: less dense, rise, igneous.
