What causes the magma inside a volcano to rise to award the surface?
The molten magma increases in pressure (like a pressure cooker at home) until it is forced towards the surface.
How does magma travel?
Magma travels through the Earth's crust via magma chambers and magma reservoirs, typically moving upwards towards the surface due to its lower density compared to the surrounding rocks. The movement of magma is influenced by factors such as temperature, pressure, and the presence of cracks or fractures in the crust.
Is molten rock inside a volcano?
Lava is the name for molten rock that appears at or near the surface from volcanic activity.
How is lava formed?
Lava is magma that has reached the surface. Magma can be formed from the subduction and melting of cold, dense, wet oceanic crust at some convergent plate margins. The moisture in the rock assists in the melting of the crust and the rock surrounding it. Magma is also formed at hot spots in the mantle where hot material undergoes decompression melting as it rises. Decompression melting also occurs at the mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed from rising mantle rock.
Does magma collect underground in magma chambers?
Magma is less dense than rock and is buoyant due to this density difference. It will seek out any weaknesses in the rock above it to reach the surface.
Does liquid magma rise until it reaches the surface?
yes. it goes upward through a 'pipe' that connects to the magma chamber.
Is the following sentence true or false liquid magma rises until it reaches the surfaceor until it becomes trapped beneath layers of rock?
True. Liquid magma rises towards the surface, either breaking through and forming volcanoes or being trapped below layers of rock and solidifying to form intrusions like plutons or dikes.
Are lava and magma the same thing?
Lava is simply magma that has reached the surface.
A trivia question When evaporating a liquid you add heat until the liquid reaches a temperature at which it changes to bubbles of gas below its surface. Is this True or False?
True. When evaporating a liquid, heat is added to increase its temperature until it reaches its boiling point. At this temperature, the liquid changes to bubbles of gas below its surface, transitioning from a liquid to a gas phase.
What causes the magma inside a volcano to rise to award the surface?
The molten magma increases in pressure (like a pressure cooker at home) until it is forced towards the surface.
What is quincke 's method?
Quincke's method is a technique used to determine the surface tension of a liquid by measuring the maximum height to which the liquid rises in a capillary tube. It involves carefully introducing the liquid into the tube and allowing it to rise due to capillary action until it reaches equilibrium. The surface tension can then be calculated using the measured height and the properties of the liquid and the tube.
Difference between filtrate and urine?
Until the liquid reaches the renal pelvis, it is "glomerular filtrate," when it reaches the pelvis, it is called "urine"

How does interior heat reach earths surface?
Imagine the mantle (the hot bit under the Earth's crust), like a lava lamp. The hot magma, which has been heated right down at the very bottom, near the outer core, is less dense then the rest of the magma. It rises, like your lava lamp bubble, until it reaches the crust. If it's hot enough, the magma can melt it's way through to the surface, causing those things we call volcanoes to form.
When a liquid is heated the temperature stops rising at the liquids what?
When a liquid is heated, its temperature will continue to rise until it reaches the boiling point of the liquid. Once it reaches this temperature, further heat added to the liquid will cause it to change into a gas rather than increase in temperature.
Is molten rock inside a volcano?
Lava is the name for molten rock that appears at or near the surface from volcanic activity.
What is the main lava chamber in the neck of a volcano?
A magma chamber in a volcano is a pool-like container of liquid rock just below the earth underground. It is constantly under tremendous pressure, and with enough time, it can start fracturing rock to make places for magma to escape.
