Questions: Mount Taylor, shown in the photograph, has a part of volcanic neck exposed. Which type of volcanic neck is being shown? - Volcanic neck created beneath the volcano - Volcanic neck created within the volcano - Volcanic neck created above the volcano

Multiple Choice Question: Mount Taylor, shown in the photograph, has a partly exposed volcanic neck. Which type of volcanic neck is being shown? Understanding Volcanic Necks Volcanic necks are formed when magma hardens within a vent of a volcano. The surrounding rock erodes away, leaving the more resistant solidified magma core exposed. This means the neck is formed _within_ the volcano's structure. Analyzing the options The provided options include:

• Volcanic neck created beneath the volcano: This doesn't make sense, as the neck is part of the volcano's structure, not something formed separately underneath it.
• Volcanic neck created within the volcano: This aligns with the definition of a volcanic neck.
• Volcanic neck created above the volcano: This is incorrect. The neck is formed inside the volcano's vent.
