What is a soft layer of molten rock under the earths surface?
If there were such a thing it would not be soft, it would be liquid, and would be called magma. There really is no completely molten layer of Earth except for the outer core which is composed primarily of liquid iron along with some nickel and other trace elements.
What names is given to the molten rock below the earths surface?
Magma. Magma rises towards the surface when it's less dense than rock around it. Otherwise, it collects in magma chambers and cools, forming igneous rock.
What is the difference between lava and molten rock?
Lava refers specifically to molten rock that flows on the surface of the Earth during a volcanic eruption. Molten rock, on the other hand, is the hot, liquid rock below the Earth's surface that has not yet erupted. Essentially, all lava is molten rock, but not all molten rock is lava.
What do call molten rock before it has erupted?
Molten rock below the surface of the Earth is known as magma. After it erupts from a volcano it is called lava.
What occurs when a liquid changed to a gas below its surface as well as on the surface?
When a liquid changes to a gas below its surface as well as at the surface, the liquid is at a temperature equal to or greater than its boiling point.
What liquid is below the surface of the earth?
The liquid below the surface of the earth is mostly molten rock, called magma. It is found in the mantle layer of the earth, between the crust and the core. The outer core of the earth is also a liquid, consisting mainly of molten iron and nickel.
What is the nake given to mopten rock below the earths surface?
If you mean name given to molten rock then the answer is magma
What molten material is below the earths service?

What forces below earth surface shape landforms?
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
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 true about plutons?
they form above earths surface (THIS ANSWER IS NOT CORRECT) They Form BELOW earths surface(:
Describe two igneous structures that form under earths surface?
Igneous rocks are formed from the molten liquid minerals that lie below the earth's crust. Intrusive igneous rocks forms in magma chambers that are deep underground it is molten by heat and pressure. Extrusive igneous rocks forms when magma makes its way to Earth's surface when the molten rock erupts.Jennifer
Does titan contain liquid below the surface?
Saturn's moon Titan has liquid methane on and presumably below the surface.
What is molten rock called on land?
It is called lava above the surface, and magma below the surface.
