I'm sorry, I don't receive any notification I work on your question, please wait...

OpenStudy (spring98):

ohh ok

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think it is option C, namely a geyser is the effect due to boiling of groundwater because of heat from the magma

OpenStudy (spring98):

OHH I thought it was either c or d too so it is c! Thanks!! :D

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please wait, I have a doubt!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

groundwater is heated by magma, and it reaches the surface with a lower pressure

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so I think it is option D

OpenStudy (spring98):

Ok Thats what Thought!! :D
