What is molten rock material that flows over the earths surface?

What is molten rock called when it reaches the Earth's surface?
Molten rock that reaches the Earth's surface is called lava.
How is the volcanic eruption formed and what causes it?
A volcanic eruption occurs when magma (molten rock) beneath the Earth's surface builds up pressure and forces its way to the surface through a vent or fissure in the crust. This can be caused by a combination of factors such as tectonic plate movement, hot spots, or the accumulation of gas within the magma chamber. When the pressure becomes too great, the volcano erupts, releasing lava, ash, and gases into the atmosphere.
What is the term for molten rock material that reaches earth's surface?
Molten rock that is contained below the earth's surface is known as magma. Once it break the surface of the earth, as in a volcanic eruption, it is called lava.

What is a molten gassy rock?
A molten gassy rock is a type of igneous rock that forms from magma that contains dissolved gases, such as water vapor and carbon dioxide. As the magma rises to the surface and cools, the gases escape, leaving behind a rock with gas bubbles or vesicles. This type of rock is commonly associated with volcanic activity.
What is the rock called that is formed from molten rock?
The rock formed from molten rock is called igneous rock. It is formed when magma cools and solidifies either underground as intrusive rock or on the Earth's surface as extrusive rock.
When molten rock erupts on earths surface it is called?
Igneous rock that flowed out of the surface if lava; lava blown out of explosive eruptions is Volcanic Ash, or Tuff.
