Does lava flow to the surface and become a magma?
No. Magma flows to the surface and becomes lava.
When magma reaches the surface what is it?
it becomes lava
What is the liquid called when the volcano is underground?
It's called magma when it is under the earth's surface. Once it erupts or becomes visible on the surface, its called lava
Magma tends to rise toward earths surface?
Yes, magma tends to rise towards the earth's surface. It does so because once melted it becomes less dense.
Melted rock that is beneath Earth's surface?
Molten rock below ground is called magma. Once the molten rock gets to the surface it is called lava.
What do volcanoes let out when it erupts?
Lava. As soon as magma reaches the surface of the volcano it becomes lava.
Magma that flows on the Earth's surface?
When molten magma emerges and flows on the surface of the earth, it becomes lava. Lava is an extrusive substance or material that after cooling and solidifying hardens to form rocks and other landforms of igneous characteristics on the earths surface.
How magma turns into lava?
its just lava when it reaches earth's serface, its magma when its still inside Molten rock on the surface is called lava. It is cooler than magma, and quickly becomes solid. This is because it is much cooler on the earths surface than inside the earth. As magma rises it starts to cool, as you go up the volcano it gets cooler by 15 degrees every 1 km. so when the magma gets to the top of the volcano it is cooled down quite a bit and turns into lava
How does magma rise to earth surface?
it is pushed up by becoming extremely hot and rises and becomes lava
What is the solid magma core of a volcano called?
Magma is underground, when it reaches the surface it becomes lava. So solidified magma is really lava. The lava flow is the liquid lava as it goes down the mountain, when hard its just hardened lava.

How do volcanoes make igneous rock?
Volcanoes are simply an opening in the surface , or a mountain on the surface created by ejecta, from which magma is spewed forth onto the surface. Once the lava has solidified by cooling, it is classified as an extrusive igneous rock.
What type of rock can become magma?
Cooled and solidified magma that rests below the surface becomes intrusive igneous rock. When magma is erupted onto the surface, then cools and solidifies, it becomes extrusive igneous rock. The major rock classification for cooled magma or lava would be IGNEOUS.
