Why does Magma tends to rise toward the Earth's surface?

Magma rises from the asthenosphere to the surface of the Earth. After it reaches temperature upward to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, the magma starts to rise. Gases also aid in pushing the magma toward the surface, along with the tremendous pressure from the depth at which it originates.


What is the medium of seismic waves?

Seismic waves travel through the Earth's interior as a form of mechanical energy. They can travel through solid rock, liquid magma, and other materials found beneath the Earth's surface.


What is a geologic situation in which a magma does not form a lava?

Lava is simply magma that reaches the surface of the earth. If a magma flow never is emergent while it is still in liquid form, it cannot be termed lava. An example is a volcanic stock or a laccolith that remains beneath the surface entirely.


What rocks originate from the surface of the earth?

Sedimentary rocks form on the Earth's crust, and can form metamorphic rocks when buried. Igneous rocks form under the surface, or when liquid magma reaches the surface as lava.
