Geology Question:
What layer of the earth does magma form?
Answer:
Magma is part of the layer just under the crust.
It reminds us that whilst everything seems solid underfoot actually that is not quite so, and there are only relatively thin layers on top that move and float on a sea of magma underneath, it is this that moves the continents around the surface of the planet, all be it very slowly indeed.
