Actually, the molten rock is called lava. The magma from the magma chamber shoots up the main vent and when the magma reaches the vent, it will turn into lava. After that.. I don't have any idea..

When the magma flows down the side of the volcano we call it?
lava!
What is inside the volcano to erupt?
Magma is the substance inside volcanoes. If the melted igneous rocks are inside a volcano, it is called magma. When the substance exits the volcano, it is called lava. When you see fire, that is when a lava flow travels down a mountain and reacts with other mediums such as houses.
What do volcanoes do when they errupt?
Boiling hot magma spurts out of the top and flows down the volcano's side, sometimes producing an ash cloud, like Eyjafjallajokull, Iceland in 2010.
What is melted rock that has been exposed to earths surface?
'Magma' while it is still in or below the Earth's surface and when it reaches or flows out on the Earth's surface it is called 'lava'. Magma from the 'magma' chamber can form a 'lava lake' at the surface and the lake can drain down the volcano in 'lava tubes' to form 'lava flows' or 'pillow lavas' if the lava tubes drain into the sea.
Where is the magma stored before the eruption?
It is not. It is forced up through the Earths mantel and then through the volcano. The volcano itself is just solidified magma (called lava as it exudes from the volcano).

What is a constructive boundarie?
At a constructive plate boundary two plates move apart. As they move apart the magma from the magma chamber flows up to fill the gap. This causes a volcano. However, as the magma can escape easily it flows down the volcano with only a little bit of force. So it has a gentle erupt.
How can you tell that Mount Fuji is a composite volcano rather than a shield volcano?
The volcano is very wide it means that it has mafic magma. The composite volcanoes have mafic magma in them. When the volcano erupts the lava flows down really fast, but hardens really slowly causing the volcano to widen its width size.
What are lava flows on a volcano?
A lava flow is where lava flows down the side of a volcano.

What does magma need to do for a rock to form?
Magma is basicaly the same as lava, except magma is still in the volcano, when magma has come out of the volcano, it has become lava.
Where is magma found in a volcano?
A volcano does not make magma, magma is the motlen rock underneath The Earth's crust. A volcano is an opening in the crust that allows the magma to be released to the surface. Magma is made by pressure and heat on rocks deep within The Earth.
What is the solid magma core of a volcano called?
Magma is underground, when it reaches the surface it becomes lava. So solidified magma is really lava. The lava flow is the liquid lava as it goes down the mountain, when hard its just hardened lava.

Where does magma goes when it leaves the volcano?
when magma comes out of the volcano it is called as lava.the lava then cools down and solidifies and changes into a rock called igneous rock
