Molten rock under ground?
Magma or lava. Classified as mafic or felsic, depending on it's minerology.

it depends on the fines <75 micron > 25%, the minerology of the material is important also ie water soluble mineral salts; silica and alumina content play a role
What is a geographical atlas?

It could also feature detailed explanations about how the physical features of the planet, such as the Earth's tectonic plates, volcano's, islands etc. became formed, as well as covering minerology and topics such as geology, meteorology, oceanography and even the Earth's atmosphere.
