What is the molten material found on the earth's surface?
The molten material that reaches earth's surface is lava :)
What is the molten material under the earth's crust?
Magma
Where are magma chambers located?
A magma chamber is a large underground pool of molten rock found beneath the surface of the Earth. The molten rock in such a chamber is under great pressure, and given enough time, that pressure can gradually fracture the rock around it creating outlets for the magma. If it finds a way to the surface, then the result will be a volcanic eruption; consequently many volcanoes are situated over magma chambers. Magma chambers are hard to detect, and most of the known ones are therefore close to the surface of the Earth, commonly between 1 km and 10 km under the surface. In geological terms this is extremely close to the surface, although in human terms it is considerably deep underground.
What is body of rock formed by molten rock inside earth called?
The molten rock that is found inside the earth is usually simply called magma. It becomes lava after it leaves the volcano at the surface of the earth.
Is molten rock only found close to the surface?
No, it is found near the surface and even far bellow the surface.
What is the molten material found on the earth's surface?
The molten material that reaches earth's surface is lava :)
What is the molten material under the earth's crust?
Magma
Where would you find magma?
Beneath the crust (Surface) of the earth is the mantle. This is made of hot molten rocks known as magma.Hope you found this useful!
What is molten rock found beneath the earth27s surface?
intrusive igneous rock
Is it true that molten rock found beneath the Earth's surface is called lava?
No, it's magma; when the magma comes out of the ground it's called lava.
What is the molten material found on the surface of the earth?
Lava
Wh at is magma?
a mixture of molten or semi-molten rock, volatiles and solids that is found beneath the surface of the Earth, and is expected to exist on other terrestrial planets and some natural satellites.

Where is the molten rock found under the earth's surface?
it is found in the outer and inner core
What is magma composition?
Magma is a mixture of several substances. It generally includes molten and/or semi-molten rock, volatiles such as dissolved gas or gas bubbles, and solids such as suspended. crystals. It is found beneath the surface of the earth.
When is magma?
Magma is the term applied to molten rock beneath the surface of the earth. It is formed when hot (very hot) rocks experience a drop in surrounding pressure, or when subducted wet lithosphere is introduced into the mantle. When it "breaks out" onto the surface of the earth, we call it lava. A link can be found below.
What kind of rock will be found 10 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface?
igneous
