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.
