What causes magma to form deep inside earth?

Magma is molten meaning liquid-like so it is able to move inside earth. The tectonic plates separate the earth and magma. This explains when the plates move earthquakes and volcanoes occur. Lava is not magma by the way! lava is hardened magma and magma is molten!
