Melted rock that is beneath Earth's surface?
Molten rock below ground is called magma. Once the molten rock gets to the surface it is called lava.
What cools quickly on the earth's surface?
it would be lava , magma is in the ground and flows on earths surface and cools to lava
What are some limitations of geothermal energy?
you have to be in a surtain place were the magma is close to earths surface
Magma injected into older rock?
Any molten rock that has not reached the surface is called magma. It is made when two tectonic plates collide and one edge of a plate is forced underneath the other, and pushed closer to the center of the earth where it heats up, and melts down.
When molten rock is below ground is called?
Magma
What is a geothermic field?
A geothermic field is an area where magma is close to the ground and heats up ground-water.
What is the name for molten rock when its under the ground?
Molten rock under the surface is called "magma". When magma reaches the surface it is called "lava".
What might happen if more magma is injected into the chamber from below?
A magma is injected into a volcano's plumbing the first thing you see is inflation of the land/volcano surface, this would be accompanied by earthquakes and low frequency harmonic sounds caused by the flow of magma through the volcano's passages (like a flute). There would then be the release of gasses from the vent (a phreatic eruption) as magma heats ground or surface water. This may then be followed by eruption of magma from the volcano's vent.
Does volcanic activity create hot springs?
An opening in the ground where hot water and gases escape from magma heated deep underground.
Do cryptodomes have vicious magma?
Yes. A cryptodome indicates that highly viscous magma is relatively close to the surface.
Molten rock under ground?
Magma or lava. Classified as mafic or felsic, depending on it's minerology.
Does magma cool above ground or beneath?
No. Molten rock under the surface is called magma. Molten rock above the surface is referred to as lava.
What is magma called when it comes out of the ground?
Magma that flows onto the Earth's surface is called Lava.
Melted rock that is beneath Earth's surface?
Molten rock below ground is called magma. Once the molten rock gets to the surface it is called lava.
What cools quickly on the earth's surface?
it would be lava , magma is in the ground and flows on earths surface and cools to lava
What might happen on earth surface if magma rises in a convection current?
Most convection currents exist in the mantle, the layer below the Earth's crust. As the semi-molten rock heats up, it rises closer to the surface as magma and hence cools on the earth surface to form rocks.
The long tube in the ground that connects the magma chamber to earths surface is called?
pipe
