What do you call molten or melted rocks?
Molten rock is also known as lava. Lava is produced by a volcano that is erupting. Lava temperatures range from 1,292 to 2,192 degrees Fahrenheit.
Is lava and magma the same?
Magma and lava are like each other but magma is below the Earth and lava reaches the Earth's surface.
What is a rock that forms when melted form cools and hardens?
igneous
What are the properties of magma help to determine the types of eruptions?
Magma is a term for rock in liquid form. It differs from lava only in 1 respect, its location. Whilst lava is the name for liquid rock released from a volcano in an eruption, magma is the name for liquid rock found beneath the surface of a planet. The temperature for magma is around 700-1300 degrees Celcius.
What term refers to magma at the earths surface?
Magma once it reaches the earths surface is called lava.
What is the term for molten rock?
Magma, or lava, which is magma above ground.

Melted rock below earths surface?
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.
What is the hot liquid that lies under the earth's crust?
Molten rock..IE lava or magma
What is a rock that forms when melted form cools and hardens?
igneous

What is a intrusive volcano?
Intrusive is a geologic term used to describe igneous rock that has solidified from magma underground. Extrusive igneous rock refers to rock that has solidified from lava above ground.
What is the meaning for lava?
Basic volcanic lavas are those which have a low silica (45 - 52%) and a high iron and magnesium content. The term "basic" in this context is somewhat outdated. Modern scientists generally prefer to call such lava mafic.
Which term refers to magma at the earth's surface?
lava
When is magma?
Magma is the term applied to molten rock beneath the surface of the earth. It is formed when hot (very hot) rocks experience a drop in surrounding pressure, or when subducted wet lithosphere is introduced into the mantle. When it "breaks out" onto the surface of the earth, we call it lava. A link can be found below.
