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.

Wh at is magma?
a mixture of molten or semi-molten rock, volatiles and solids that is found beneath the surface of the Earth, and is expected to exist on other terrestrial planets and some natural satellites.
What is a definition for lava?
Lava is molten rock that erupts from a volcano or fissure in the Earth's surface. It typically flows as a red-hot liquid before cooling and solidifying into igneous rock.
What is the liquid rock on the surface of earth?
Liquid rock can be found on the surface as erupted lava, or in the lithosphere as it attempts to rise toward the surface (molten rock under the surface is called magma). Molten rock originates at the boundary between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere due to the introduction of cold wet oceanic crust into the upper mantle at convergent plate boundaries, or from decompression melting at hot spots and divergent plate boundaries. The asthenosphere is partially molten, but is mostly solid. The outer core is the only liquid layer of the Earth, composed mainly of liquid iron and nickel.
What is molten rock when it is in and outside of the Earth's crust?
Igneous Rock
The earth's surface is what on molten rock?
Molten rock on the Earth's surface is called lava.
Does all magma make it to Earth's surface?
No. Magma is molten rock inside Earth. Lava is molten rock outside Earth.
What name is given to molten rock on the surface of the earth?
Molten rock on the surface of the Earth is called lava.
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.
Are molten rock and lava the same thing in different places?
Molten rock that has been erupted onto Earth's surface is known as lava. Molten rock within the Earth is known as magma.
When is molten rock called magma?
Molten rock is called magma when it is inside the earth. Its called lava when it reaches the Earth's surface.
Rock formed from molten rock on earth's surface?
igneous rock
What is molten rock outside a Volcano on Earth's surface called?
Magma that reaches the surface it is called lava.Molten rock from the Earth's interior that breaks through to the surface is called lava
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.
What is molten rock deep beneath the Earth's crust called?
Molten rock deep beneath the Earth's crust is called magma.
