Hot liquid rock on the earth's surface is called?
The is called "lava", before it comes out on the surface it is called "magma".
What is molten sulfur?
Lava is rock so hot that it is liquid and is at the surface of the Earth.
What is the liquid rock on the surface of earth?
Liquid rock can be found on the surface as erupted lava, or in the lithosphere as it attempts to rise toward the surface (molten rock under the surface is called magma). Molten rock originates at the boundary between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere due to the introduction of cold wet oceanic crust into the upper mantle at convergent plate boundaries, or from decompression melting at hot spots and divergent plate boundaries. The asthenosphere is partially molten, but is mostly solid. The outer core is the only liquid layer of the Earth, composed mainly of liquid iron and nickel.
What is the hot liquid that lies under the earth's crust?
Molten rock..IE lava or magma

What do we call molten hot liquid rock while it is still below the Earth's surface?
fb
Magma is solid?
A natural hot melt composed of a solution of rock-forming materials, steam, and super-heated gases from which igneous rock results.

What is a hot molten liquid that rises up through a volcano?
The hot molten liquid that rises up through a volcano is called magma. It is a mixture of molten rock, gases, and other substances that is stored beneath the Earth's surface. When a volcano erupts, the magma is expelled as lava onto the Earth's surface.
