One of the key reasons for Federation was to achieve a united defence force which could better protect Australia. Around the 1880s, the Australian colonies had become increasingly concerned over the close proximity of foreign powers.
Split and merge into it. Answered by The Community. Making the world better, one answer at a time. Dissolved gases trapped in the magma provides the force that causes magma to erupt to the surface. Magma is molten material before it reaches the surface and is lava.
How do volcanoes form? Deep inside Earth, between the molten iron core and the thin crust at the surface, there is a solid body of rock called the mantle. When rock from the mantle melts, moves to the surface through the crust, and releases pent-up gases, volcanoes erupt. Extremely high temperature and pressure cause the rock to melt and become liquid rock or magma. When a large body of magma has formed, it rises thorugh the denser rock layers toward Earth's surface.
