Melted rock that forms inside the Earth is called magma. When magma rises to the surface and erupts through a volcano, it is referred to as lava. Magma can solidify underground to form igneous rocks once it cools and crystallizes.
Molten rock that is found beneath the Earth's surface is called magma. It forms in the Earth's mantle and can sometimes make its way to the surface, where it is then referred to as lava.
Intrusive rock. The prefix in-helps to remember that it is made inside the earth.
The melted rock that forms a volcano is called magma when it is beneath the Earth's surface. Once it erupts and reaches the surface, it is referred to as lava. As lava cools and solidifies, it can create various volcanic landforms, including mountains and islands.
When melted rock solidifies, it forms an igneous rock. This process is known as crystallization.
Igneous
Igneous rock forms when melted rock (magma) from inside the Earth cools.
Molten rock that is found beneath the Earth's surface is called magma. It forms in the Earth's mantle and can sometimes make its way to the surface, where it is then referred to as lava.
Igneous rock forms when melted rock from inside the Earth cools and hardens. This process can happen either beneath the Earth's surface, forming intrusive igneous rock, or at the surface, forming extrusive igneous rock. Examples include granite, basalt, and obsidian.

magma, but when its on the surface lava
Melted rock beneath Earth's surface is known as magma. Magma forms in the Earth's mantle and can rise to the surface, where it is then called lava. Magma can also cool and solidify beneath the surface, forming igneous rocks.
Igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rock forms at or near the surface, intrusive igneous rock forms below the surface.
When melted rock cools and hardens in or under the Earth's surface, it forms igneous rock. This process can happen above ground, forming volcanic rocks, or below ground, forming intrusive rocks.

When melted rock solidifies, it forms an igneous rock. This process is known as crystallization.
