13. Through the rock cycle, we have understood that magma plays a significant part in the formation of rocks. Refer to the excerpt of an article below to answer this question:
“Are you in agreement that the Earth would run out of magma?”
*The earth was formed around 4.5 billion years ago by the accumulation of rocky bodies like meteoroids and asteroids. At that time, the earth was extremely hot - mostly molten - and did not have a crust, mantle, or core. Over time the core was formed as heavier metals sank out of the magma. The crust is the slowly cooled down mantle on the outside. Now, the earth will eventually cool down completely causing the mantle to solidify. Since the mantle is the source for magma (molten rocks) this also means no more magma. This has happened to Mercury already, but it will take a very long time for the earth to completely cool down."

The earth extremely hot-mostly molten
Core was formed as lighter metals sank out of magma
The earth cooled down, causing the mantis to solidify
Mars has already melted down

14. Since January of 2020 to date, Taal Volcano has been showing its alarming activities like numerous volcanic earthquakes, including volcanic tremor events to its nearby towns a cities reaching some parts of the NCR and Northern Luzon as well. Using your knowledge about endogenic processes, which is not the correct process to the activities of Taal Volcano with 35 recorded eruptions?
Magma rising due to low viscosity
Primordial heat transferring
Rock transforming due to high pressure and temperature
Magma cooling due to high temperatures
