Below the surface, the molten rock is called magma; at the earth's surface it becomes lava, nothing has changed only the name of the liquid. Igneous rock is made by fire. Small wonder the magma from which igneous rock is formed can reach temperatures close to 1200 degrees Celsius.

What layer of the earth continents oceans and molten rock?
Continents and oceans are located on the Earth's outermost layer, known as the crust. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which consists of solid rock that can flow under high pressure. The molten rock, or magma, is found in the Earth's innermost layer, the outer core and the inner core.

What are molten substances that appear at the surface of earth?
Molten substances that appear at the surface of the Earth include lava, which is molten rock that flows out of volcanoes during eruptions, and magma, which is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. These molten substances can solidify into igneous rock as they cool.
How are lava and magma the same?
Lava and magma are both molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. The main difference is that magma is molten rock below the surface, while lava is molten rock that has reached the surface through volcanic eruption.

What is molten material below the surface of earth called?
Molten material below the surface of the Earth is called magma. It consists of molten rock, gases, and suspended solids. Magma can eventually erupt onto the Earth's surface as lava through volcanic activity.
