What is lava called before it erupts?
Lava that is still below the earth's crust is called magma.
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.
What do we call molten hot liquid rock while it is still below the Earth's surface?

Magma that flows on the Earth's surface?
Magma that flows on the Earth's surface is called lava. When magma erupts through a volcano or fissure in the Earth's crust, it becomes lava. Lava can be highly viscous and flow slowly, creating different types of volcanic landforms.
What is the difference of the earth and the sun's surface?
You can still get free parking on the suns surface.
How far below the earth's surface is the asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere begins at around 100-150 km depth in the Earth. This is below the lithosphere, which consists of the crust and the uppermost mantle (the plates in plate tectonics).The asthenosphere is in the mantle, but it is still unclear how much of the mantle (which goes down to a depth of ~2900 km) is actually part of the asthenosphere.
What the motion of a person who is standing still on earth surface?
A person who is standing still on the Earth's surface is in a state of relative rest with respect to the surface of the Earth. However, they are actually moving along with the Earth as it rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun. So, in a broader sense, they are always in motion.
Is an object on the surface earth sitting still relative to outer space?
No, it has the speed of the spinning earth.
Is there gravity at 36000 kms from the surface of the earth?
Yes. Earth's gravity is still very present at 36,000 km. This is what keeps geosynchronous satellites in orbit. Earth is the dominant gravitational body much farther out than that, to a distance of about 1.5 million km. Beyond that distance there is still gravity, but the sun, not Earth, dominates.
What is the system for volcanoes to form lava?
Volcanism is the process by which molten rock material is moved from one part of the earth's crust to another, or from within the earth's crust to the surface. This molten material is called *magma* while it is still beneath the surface, but it is called *lava* as soon as it reaches the surface. All this molten rock material eventually cools and solidifies into igneous rock.
Why you call earth the earth if all the things are flat?
It is still called the Earth.
What is the least known fact about the earth?
How fast a person is moving, while standing still, on the surface of the Earth.
