Which of the following statements is true?

Cooling magma is slowing adding land to the continents.

Explanation:

1:Earth's crust is divided into 7 major and several minor tectonic plates which float on a semi-fluid layer called the asthenosphere. Silicon is the second most common element present in the crust with an abundance of 276,900 ppm. It exists as a compound in the mantle and the crust. In the crust, it exists combined with oxygen to form silicate minerals.2: Quartzite is a hard, non-foliated metamorphic rock which was originally pure quartz sandstone.3:Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.4:Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of small particles and subsequent cementation of mineral or organic particles on the floor of oceans or other bodies of water at the Earth's surface.
