What is an underground molten mixture of rock-forming substances gases and water from the mantle?
Mantle rock, usually fed by subducting crusts at destructive plate boundaries, melt under the heat, creating magma (or igneous melt). This magma is usually less dense than the surrounding (country) rock and so rises to or near the surface, forming igneous rocks in two ways:
1) The rock does not reach the surface, but cools and crystallises inside the Earth, creating INTRUSIVE igneous rocks. These usually have large crystals as they cool more slowly due to the hot surrounding temperatures.
2) The rock reaches the surface via volcanic or fissure eruptions as lava, and cools and crystallises very quickly on the earth's surface forming EXTRUSIVE igneous rocks. These have fine crystals due to the quick cooling time and colder surrounding temperatures.

What is molten mixture of rock forming substances gases and water from the mantle?
Magma
Magma forms when rocks begin to melt?
Yes. Magma is underground molten rock.
How is a mixture of cornstarch and water similar to the earth's mantle How is it different How might the plasticity of the mantle influence the movement of the earth's lithospheric plates?
Both the mixture of cornstarch and water and the Earth's mantle exhibit a semi-fluid behavior known as plasticity, allowing for flow over time. However, the mantle is composed of solid rock material whereas the cornstarch-water mixture is composed of two distinct phases. The plasticity of the mantle influences the movement of Earth's lithospheric plates by allowing them to slide and interact with each other along plate boundaries due to the mantle's ability to deform and flow.
Where does heat that changing rocks into metamorphic rock come from?
The heat from the mantle and core.
Is lava a solution?
Lava is not a solution; it is a molten rock material that erupts from a volcano. It consists of various minerals, gases, and crystals that are in a liquid state due to the high temperatures within the Earth's mantle. Unlike a solution, which is a homogeneous mixture of substances, lava has a complex composition that can vary widely depending on its source.

Magma forms when rocks begin to melt?
Yes. Magma is underground molten rock.
What is an underground geothermal reservoir?
Over thousands of years rain water seeps through cracks in the Earth's crust and collects in underground reservoirs between the crust and the mantle. The mantle heats the water into a super-heated liquid and, voila!, you have a geothermal reservoir!
What name is given to molten underground?
Magma is the name given to molten underground rock. It can be found beneath the Earth's surface in the mantle and can eventually rise to the surface through volcanic activity.
