Magma itself does not force the plates to move. Plate movement is caused by convection currents in the mantle because of intense heat from the Earth's core.

Why does magma deep underground stay liquid longer than lava on the surface?
Magma is heated to its molten state via heat from the Earth's core and that heat is held in by the earths crust. Once on the surface there is nothing to keep it molten and is it cooled by the outside air.
The possible source of earths magnetic core is?
The molten iron and medals inside the earths core are the reasons for the earths magnetic core.
What is liquid rock?

What do you call a gap in the earths crust through which molten rock escapes onto the earths surface?
Volcano or shield volcano.
What do scientist believe causes earths magnetic field?
The center core of the earth is solid iron surrounded by molten iron. The center is solid due to the great pressure and the spinning mass of molten iron around the solid iron core creates the electrodynamic effect that causes Earths magnetism. Our moon has little or no magnetic field because its core has long since cooled.
What is the earths deeppest layer?

What is a molten rock from earths mantle?
If it were molten, it would be called magma.
Is a molten compound a liquid?
Yes. "Molten" means the compound has melted into the liquid state. Anything that heat has melted into a liquid can be described as molten.
How do you know earths outer core is liquid?
Volcanoes allow the molten lava from the outer core to pass through weak spots in the mantle.
What Made liquid by heat?

How are lava form?
Lava is molten rock. The rock deep inside the earths mantle is always molten, and when it occasionally breaks through to the surface, the opening is called a volcano, and the liquid rock spilling out of the top is lava.
