Molten rock material below the earth's surface is called magma.
lava
The angular distance of the horizon below the plane of observation caused by the curvature of the Earth's surface is called the dip angle.
These phenomenon are called solar flares. They are caused by the powerful magnetic fields of the sun interacting and causing an outburst of solar material. Further information, real-time animations and images of solar flares can be seen at NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory site in the related links below.
A subsatellite point is the point on the Earth's surface directly below a satellite in orbit. This point moves as the satellite orbits the Earth. The subsatellite point is also called the nadir point.
When the Sun is directly overhead (at zenith) the point below it is called nadir.
The grainieness is caused by convective cells at the sun's sufrace. Hooter material rises up at the centers of these "grains" (called granules) while less hot material sinks around their edges. Each granule is several hundred miles across.
This is false. Molten material below earth's surface is known as magma. It is only known as lava once it has been erupted onto the surface.
Molten material below ground is called magma, and molten material above ground is called lava.
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.
No! First of all, magma is below the surface and it is molten material.
It is called lava above the surface, and magma below the surface.
Yes, molten rock material from which minerals can crystallize is called magma when it is below the Earth's surface. Once the molten rock material reaches the Earth's surface, it is referred to as lava.
Molten rock below the surface of the Earth is known as magma. After it erupts from a volcano it is called lava.
This type of heat transfer is called convection. As the molten rock rises, it carries heat towards the Earth's surface, then cools and sinks back down to be reheated again. This cyclical movement of fluid material is a key mechanism in driving the process of plate tectonics.
Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of molten material, such as lava or magma. This process can occur either above or below the Earth's surface and results in rocks like basalt, granite, and obsidian.
Molten rock below the surface of the Earth is known as magma. After it erupts from a volcano it is called lava.
Lava refers specifically to molten rock that flows on the surface of the Earth during a volcanic eruption. Molten rock, on the other hand, is the hot, liquid rock below the Earth's surface that has not yet erupted. Essentially, all lava is molten rock, but not all molten rock is lava.
Fire-formed rocks are called igneous rocks. They are formed through the solidification of molten rock material, either below the Earth's surface (intrusive) or at the surface (extrusive). Examples include granite, basalt, and obsidian.
