No. Magma is heated rock, and under great pressure. So if a conduit opens, it may enter a rock chamber beneath the surface, cool, and solidify there. Or it may exit a vent on the ocean floor, building new seafloor. A formation of solidified magma as igneous rock within the mantle is called a pluton.
What else can I help you with?
Does all magma come from the earths core?
No, not all magma comes from the Earth's core. Magma can also originate from the mantle, which is the layer beneath the Earth's crust. The heat and pressure from the mantle can cause rocks to melt and form magma, which can then rise to the surface as volcanic eruptions.
Lava is a type of magma but not all magma is lava?
Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while lava is magma that reaches the surface through a volcano or fissure. So, while all lava was once magma, not all magma will reach the surface as lava.
What is melted rock that has been exposed to earths surface?
'Magma' while it is still in or below the Earth's surface and when it reaches or flows out on the Earth's surface it is called 'lava'. Magma from the 'magma' chamber can form a 'lava lake' at the surface and the lake can drain down the volcano in 'lava tubes' to form 'lava flows' or 'pillow lavas' if the lava tubes drain into the sea.
Why are there are almost no extrusive ultra basic rocks in earths crust?
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
Is all igneous rock formed from lava that cooled on Earths surface?
No, not all igneous rock is formed from lava that cooled on Earth's surface. Some igneous rocks are formed from magma that cooled below the surface, and these are called intrusive igneous rocks. These rocks cool more slowly than lava, allowing for larger mineral crystals to form.

Is. magma is melt rock that has come to the surface?
No! First of all, magma is below the surface and it is molten material.
Does all magma surface?
No. Along its path to the surface, most magma is stopped short by gradual cooling and solidification at a point below the surface.

There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
Does all magma come from earths core?
Yes it does because where else would it come from.

What do all volcano's share?
Pocket of magma beneath the surface
Do all volcanoes have a pocket of magma beneath the surface?
yes
Do all volcanoes have pocket of magma beneath the surface?
yes
Is magma a part of the earths hydrosphere?
No, magma is not part of the Earth's hydrosphere. The hydrosphere includes all water on Earth, such as oceans, rivers, lakes, and groundwater. Magma, which is molten rock located beneath the Earth's surface, belongs to the geosphere. While both the hydrosphere and geosphere interact in various geological processes, they are distinct components of the Earth's systems.
