Melted rock below earths surface?
Melted rock below Earth's surface is known as magma. Magma forms when rocks in the Earth's mantle melt due to high temperatures and pressure. As magma rises towards the surface, it can eventually erupt as lava through a volcano.
Mountains formed by magma that reaches the Earths surface are?
Mountains formed by magma that reaches the Earth's surface are called volcanoes.
Magma that reaches the Earth's surface is called what?
Magma that reaches the surface is referred to as lava.magma that has reached the earth's surface tends to cool faster, that is why the rock will have more holes in it than a rock that has not reached the earth's surface. magma that has cooled enough to become a rock is known as a igneous rock. but there are two types of igneous rock. ther is intrusive igneous and extrusive igneous. intrusive is when the magma has cooled on the inside. this rock will have large crystals because it has cooled slower and most likely it will have a fine grained texture. extrusive igneous is when magma has reached earths surface (thats when it becomes lava) and has cooled. these rock with either have very small microscopic crystals or no crystals at all because the lava cools so quickly that they do not have enough time to really form.
When magma comes up to earths surface and hardens what is it called?
When magma comes up to Earth's surface and hardens, it is called lava.
When magma hardens and comes to the earths surface what is it called?
If the magma has hardened before being exposed at the surface it would be considered an intrusive igneous rock. It is hardens at or near the surface, it would be called extrusive igneous rock.
What is liquid magma that has reached earth earth's surface?
Once magma has reached the surface, it is refered to as lava.

Is magma faster than lava?

What is the name for magma that has erupted?
Lava. Note: Magma cant erupt, volcanoes do. Magma is just the word for molten rock beneath the earths surface, lava is for molten rock above the earths surface.
What is the name for lava before it leaves the volcano?
its magma before it reaches earths surface. lava is when its at earths surface
