I NEED HELP, PLZ

Geysers are geothermal hot springs that erupt from time to time, spraying superheated water and steam up to hundreds of meters into the air from holes or vents in the ground. Which of these subsurface events is most important in causing geysers?

A. the rising of magma in the mantle

B. the composition of rock within the lithosphere

C. the movement of plates within the lithosphere

D. the movement of water from the mantle to the lithosphere

Answer 1

Answer:

Subsurface magma heats groundwater, creating steam and hot water. The hot, less dense water rises through fissures and cracks in the ground. When it reaches the surface, features such as geysers, fumaroles, hot springs, and mud pits are created.

Answer 2

Answer:

D

Explanation:

according to me

when the water moves near the mantle the water gets heated up and thus steem is produced
