Being a less dense liquid, it rises toward the surface, seeking the path of least resistance. The volcano is simply a structure created by the rising magma and the surface features of its lava.

Lava, which is called magma when it is underground, originates from the upper mantle where conditions sometimes allow hot rock to melt. This molten rock rises because it is less dense than its surroundings. It follows underground conduits that eventually lead to volcanoes.

Molten rock, called magma when it is underground, originates in the upper mantle and travels toward the surface through cracks and by melting some of the surrounding rock. In many cases it is stored in a magma chamber a few miles underground before finally following conduits to the surface that lead to volcanoes.

The lava, called magma when it is inside the earth, usually forms in the upper part of earth's mantle where temperatures are in the thousands of degrees. Pressure keeps the rocks here in a solid or semisolid state, but the reduction of pressure or the addition of gasses can trigger melting. This magma then rises up by melting and fracturing the earth's crust, eventually reaching the surface to form volcanoes. Magma is usually stored beneath the volcano in a magma chamber, which is occasionally fed by fresh magma from the mantle. In some cases the magma is no directly from the mantle, but results from crust rocks melted by mantle magma. This tends to generate cooler, more viscous magma, which contains minerals that have lower melting points.

Inside a volcano is molten rock. When there is too much pressure and heat in that volcano, the rock melts and becomes magma, when it reaches the Earths surface it is now lava.

Magma comes out of the mantle through a crack in a plate into a volcano and then it sits in the magma chamber (magma is lava before it comes the volcano)

Is magma cools faster than magma?

No, magma is located in the volcano when it comes out it is called lava. Lava cools after it comes out. Magma is still heated as the volcano is.


Is the cinder cone volcano made from magma?

yes cinder cone volcano are made from magma


Where in a composite volcano is magma located?

Composite volcanoes can contain virtually any kind of magma ranging from basaltic to rhyolitic. Andesitic magma is the most common. One stratovolcano contains unique carbonatite magma, which is unlike the magma of any other volcano in the world.


Where does magma come from?

It comes from the Magma Chamber in the bottom of the volcano. :)

How is magma classified?

Magma can be classified in the two ways. When it is inside the volcano it is called magma, but when it is out of the volcano, it's then called lava.


Does a volcano make magma?

A volcano does not make magma. The magma is created underground by melted rocks due to the earth's core temperature. When na big amount of magma is created, the volcano feels pressure, and then it errupts magma, but it does not make it.


What is the definition of a volcano magma chamber?

A volcano magma chamber is a large underground reservoir that holds molten rock (magma). It is a key component of a volcano's plumbing system and acts as a storage unit for magma before it is eventually erupted to the surface. The magma chamber is typically located beneath the volcano and can vary in size and shape.


How is gas stored in a volcano?

Gas is stored in the Magma chamber at the bottom of the volcano, along with the magma.
