Lava is molten rock expelled by a volcano during an eruption. This molten rock is formed in the interior of some planets, including Earth, and some of their satellites. When first erupted from a volcanic vent, lava is a liquid at temperatures from 700 °C to 1,200 °C (1,300 °F to 2,200 °F). Although lava is quite viscous, with about 100,000 times the viscosity of water, it can flow great distances before cooling and solidifying, because of both its thixotropic and shear thinning properties.[1][2]
Molten rock in the earth is known as Magma. When it erupts to the earths surface it becomes Lava.
Molten rock is called lava when it is at the surface and magma when it is underground.
Magma is hot molten rock below the Earth's surface. If it is erupted onto Earth's surface it is known as lava.
Molten rock is called magma if it is below ground and lava if it is above ground.
No. By definition a mineral is solid. When lava cools into rock its chemical components form multiple different minerals.
yes it is
Molten rock may exist either on the surface or underground. It is only considered lava when it is at the surface. Underground molten rock is called magma.
Molten rock is also called lava.:)
Lava is a molten rock from a volcano, and is rock.
Magma or lavaLava is molten rock. Magma is a mixture of molten rock and solids.
magma is molten rock that is still underground and lava is molten rock that is above ground

Lava is molten rock on earth's surface.
Lava is molten rock.
Magma or lavaLava is molten rock. Magma is a mixture of molten rock and solids.
magma is molten rock that is still underground and lava is molten rock that is above ground
Rivers of molten rock are called lava flows.
Molten rock that has erupted is called Lava, however if it has not erupted it is called Magma.
Molten rock is called magma when it is underground and lava when it reaches the surface.
Lava and magma are the same because they're both molten rock Magma is molten rock inside the earth and lava is molten rock on the earth's surface
Magma is molten rock under ground whereas molten rock that flows out of the ground is lava and igneous rock is solid when the lava or magma hardens.
