Pillow lava is the lava structure typically formed when lava emerges from an underwater volcanic vent or subglacial volcano or a lava flow enters the ocean. However, pillow lava can also form when lava is erupted beneath thick glacial ice. The viscous lava gains a solid crust on contact with the water, and this crust cracks and oozes additional large blobs or "pillows" as more lava emerges from the advancing flow. Since water covers the majority of Earth's surface and most volcanoes are situated near or under bodies of water, pillow lava is very common.
Molten rock underground is called magma rather than lava. Unless you live on or near a volcano, chances are there is no magma beneath your feet. Temperatures in Earth's mantle are hot enough to melt rock if it were at the surface, but rock in the mantle is kept in a solid or semi-solid state by the enormous pressure exerted by the rock above it. This semi-solid rock is found 50 to 125 miles beneath the surface depending on the geology of the region.
lava isn't below the surface at all. lava is the stuff on top of the surface. in the surface it is called MAGMA, magma is all the way down in the inside layer of the earth, the core
Yes. Magma that reaches the surface is called lava.
The lithosphere, which includes both the crust and the uppermost mantle, goes all the way to the surface.
It starts appearing just after the upper mantle, and continues down to the core.
no, it is magma.
Yes, it is directly underneath.

Magma is the geological term for melted or molten rock below the earth's surface. Once the magma has reached the surface it is called lava.
Coarse-grained texture
Intrusive igneous rocks.
Mountains formed by magma that reaches the Earth's surface are called volcanoes.
This name is lava.
yes it is true!
Intrusive rock
it kills people
Magma is the geological term for melted or molten rock below the earth's surface. Once the magma has reached the surface it is called lava.
Molted rock below Earths surface is called Magma.
Magma once it reaches the earths surface is called lava.
Magma that reaches the Earth's surface is known as lava.
Volcanoes are essentially holes in the earths surface through which magma and lava can erupt. when pressure builds up below the earths crust, magma is then forced violently out of the volcanoes.
its magma before it reaches earths surface. lava is when its at earths surface
If you mean name given to molten rock then the answer is magma
Magma that reaches earth's surface is called lava.
Lava.
