Actually, magma and lava are essentially the same thing. Different names for the same hot liquid bursting out of a volcano. Magma is while it's in the volcano. When it pours out it's still magma, but just called lava. No difference. If you want to know what happens when it cools, then well, it turns into an igneous rock. (such as obsidian)
What else can I help you with?
What is the hot fluid within the earth s crust from which lava and igneous rock is formed on cooling called?
Magma
What is The difference between magma and lava is?
Magma and lava are both molten (liquid) rock, but magma is molten rock produced underneath earth's surface and lava is the magma that was produced that is flowing onto earth's surface.Magma is a molten material found beneath earth's crust that forms minerals with large crystals when it cools slowly and forms minerals with small crystals when it cools rapidly. Lava is on the outside of the volcano and when it cools it forms extrusive igneous rock that are fine grained. When magma on the inside of a volcano cools, this rock is called intrusive igneous rock are coarse grained. Both rocks can look similar but some extrusive igneous rocks like obsidian can have a glassy and smooth texture.lava is what comes out of a volcanomagma is what is inside the volcanoLava is hot molten rock that erupted from volcano Magma is hot material below earths crust, from which lava is formed So the basic difference is just that lava is hot molten rock that already erupted; while magma is what is inside earth' s crustMagma is a substance in the mantle, under the earth's crust, where lava is that same substance but outside the earth's crust.
What effect does the the the rate that magma cools have on crystal formation?
if lava cools slowly, it will have a lot of crystals. When it cools fast, there will be little to no crystals what s ever.
Does all magma make it to Earth's surface?
No. Magma is molten rock inside Earth. Lava is molten rock outside Earth.
What are facts about magma?
the magma chamber is a pocket underneath a volcano where magma, mixture of gases, and molten rock appears to be accumulated or collected all together. this answer was submitted by valeria naomi ramos valencia
Does igneous rock form from magma?
Magma (molten rock) rises from feeders or volcanic necks beneath the surface of the crust and flows from volcanic openings onto the surface. When magma reaches the surface, it is called lava.When lava reaches the surface, it immediately begins to cool. During this cooling phase, the liquid lava solidifies much as liquid water would freeze if cooled sufficiently. The solidification occurs because of the crystallization of minerals from chemical components (iron, magnesium, silicon, oxygen) in the lava. The lava will transition from a liquid to either a form of natural glass, or to a rock, depending on the speed at which it cools. Obsidian, a natural glass, and basalt, an extrusive igneous rock, are both formed from cooling lava.
What will happen if S waves encounter magma or molten rocks?
S waves will not pass through magma.
How long does it take for magma to reach the Earth's surface?
In the normal course of things, lava doesn't usually reach the surface of the earth, it being encased by the earth's solid rock mantle and the earth's crust. However, when fault lines and cracks develop, the lava, under great pressure, spews forth from deep inside the earth in a matter of seconds. In sub-surface lava channels it is reckoned that lava can flow at about 60 kilometers per hour or so, but the time it takes to reach the surface depends on how deep beneath the surface the particular channel is situated. Pyroclastic surges (mainly gas, plus some lava), can reach speeds arounds 350 km/h. However, one cause of these is the undergraound lava coming into water at some point before its eruption, particularly when the lava vent it situated under the sea. Of course, scientists are continually monitoring movements of the earth's layers and are quick to alert us to any potential dangers, particularly in areas known to be at risk.

I have a lava lamp from the 70's and it cost $20

Do volcanos erupt differently?
Yes, volcanoes can erupt in different ways depending on factors such as the type of magma, the presence of gas or water, and the size and shape of the volcano. Eruptions can range from explosive, where magma is fragmented into ash and rock, to effusive, where lava flows steadily from the volcano. Each eruption type presents unique hazards and impacts.
