Which is not a true statement about hydrothermal water?
A) Granitic magma contains more dissolved water than solid granite rock
B) Magma gives off hydrothermal water as it solidifies
C) Groundwater can be heated to form a hydrothermal solution especially in sedimentary rock layers
D) Mid-oceanic ridges produce basalt that heats seawater as it seeps into the cracks of the ocean floor

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Groundwater in sedimentary rock layers is typically not hot enough to form hydrothermal solutions. Hydrothermal solutions are formed from the heating and circulation of water by magma or hot rocks in the Earth's crust, typically at depths greater than those found in sedimentary rock layers.
