What is molten rock above ground called?
lava
What is the name of this melted substance from the earth?
Lava is molten rock escaping through holes and cracks (eg volcanos) in the Earth's crust. The molten rock when under the Earth's crust is called magma.
What is a substance that can survive molten lava?
Most likely an igneous rock can withstand molten lava.
What cause molten rock to move upward in the mantle?
Convection. E2020
Is lava fluid?
Lava of relatively low viscosity (relatively low silica content, so basic rock such as basalt). Associated with constructive plate margins and with intra-plate volcanoes such as Hawaii.
How are lava and magma and igneous rock related?
Magma is molten rock under ground whereas molten rock that flows out of the ground is lava and igneous rock is solid when the lava or magma hardens.
Molten rock under the ground?
Molten rock under the ground is called magma. It is formed from the melting of rocks in the Earth's mantle. Magma can rise to the surface through volcanic eruptions, or it can solidify underground to form igneous rock.
What is the name for molten rock when its under the ground?
Molten rock under the surface is called "magma". When magma reaches the surface it is called "lava".
What do you call a molten rock?
Molten rock is called magma when it is below ground and lava when it is above ground.
When molten rock is below ground is called?
Magma
Does magma cool above ground or beneath?
No. Molten rock under the surface is called magma. Molten rock above the surface is referred to as lava.
What is molten rock under the world?
molten rock under the world is called magma.
How does volcano differ from magma chamber?
A volcano is a vent or hole in the ground where molten rock and associated gasses erupt. A magma chamber is a chamber underground, often under a volcano, where molten rock is stored.
A molten rock starting with l?
A molten rock that has cooled is an Igneous rock. To my knowledge there is not a specific igneous rock that starts with L. However molten rock above ground is called lava.
What is the difference between lava and molten rock?
Lava refers specifically to molten rock that flows on the surface of the Earth during a volcanic eruption. Molten rock, on the other hand, is the hot, liquid rock below the Earth's surface that has not yet erupted. Essentially, all lava is molten rock, but not all molten rock is lava.
What distinguishes magma from lava?
magma is molten rock that is still underground and lava is molten rock that is above ground
What is molten rock above ground called?
lava
