Answer:

Density

Step-by-step explanation:

The factors that allows magma to push its way up includes temperature and density.

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body

Density is the mass per unit volume.

Temperature and density combines within the asthenosphere to create convective cells by which magma is force up.

  • A hot magma is less dense and it is light, therefore, it rises up to crustal levels.
  • A cold magma is dense and it sinks downward.
  • This cyclic exchange is what drives the movement of magma at sub-crustal levels.
