What is melted rock that has been exposed to earths surface?
'Magma' while it is still in or below the Earth's surface and when it reaches or flows out on the Earth's surface it is called 'lava'. Magma from the 'magma' chamber can form a 'lava lake' at the surface and the lake can drain down the volcano in 'lava tubes' to form 'lava flows' or 'pillow lavas' if the lava tubes drain into the sea.
What flows to the sea?
