Because magma is less dense than the surrounding solid rock, it is forced upward toward the surface. When magma reaches the surface and flows from volcanoes, it is called lava.
The molten material moving upward within the Earth's crust is called magma. Magma is formed from the melting of rocks in the Earth's mantle and can rise to the surface through volcanic activity. As magma cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rocks.
Magma often moves upward through the Earth's crust along cracks and fractures in the rock, known as magma conduits. These conduits can be created by tectonic activity, such as the movement of tectonic plates, which can provide pathways for magma to reach the surface and form volcanic eruptions.
The inside of the earth (Mantle) pushes the hot magma liquid and makes the magma move toward the surface.
An eruption.
The tectonic plates push together thus causing magma to shoot up and rise hence an eruption

It forms a dome.

FALSE: gravity cannot force magma upwards, gravity can olny force downwars. the reason magma shoots from the earths interior is because the pressure from the magma trying to push through the force gravity causes an eruption.
yes. it goes upward through a 'pipe' that connects to the magma chamber.
Basaltic magma is forced upward in a vent

Magma pushes its way upward due to buoyancy, caused by its low density compared to the surrounding rock. Additionally, increasing pressure from beneath and the presence of fractures or weak spots in the crust can also facilitate magma ascent.
