Melted rock, or magma, collects in a volcano's magma chamber beneath the surface. As pressure builds in this chamber, the magma can rise through cracks and fissures in the Earth's crust. When the pressure becomes too great, it can lead to volcanic eruptions, where the magma is expelled as lava, ash, and gases. This process contributes to the formation and growth of the volcano itself.

What is melted rock that reaches Earth's?
When melted rock reaches Earth's surface, it is called lava. Lava can flow out of volcanoes during an eruption, cooling and solidifying to form igneous rock.
Hot melted rock that reaches the surface of the Earth is called what?
If it reaches the surface, it is magma or lava. If it merely intrudes into rocks already formed, it is intrusive. Such as sills and dikes.
What is a melted rock that can ooze out from below the earths surface through a crack in the crust is called a?
it is just called molten rock, and it comes out of the Earths crust via volcanoes. you can also say that its melted lava
Where does molten rock collect that is underground?
Molten rock, also known as magma, collects in underground chambers called magma chambers. These chambers are typically located within the Earth's crust, where the molten rock can accumulate and accumulate pressure until it eventually rises to the surface as a volcanic eruption.
How hot is the melted rock inside earth?
Answer by: MistiHot spot :)
How can volcanoes cause melted rock?
Volcanoes do not cause rocks to melt, they are just the exit where melted rock come to the earths surface.
Lava is melted rock found on a volcanoes?
outside
Where in a volcano does melted rocks collect?
Molten rock collects in a magma chamber beneath the volcano.
What is melted rock that reaches Earth's?
When melted rock reaches Earth's surface, it is called lava. Lava can flow out of volcanoes during an eruption, cooling and solidifying to form igneous rock.
What is the major process of surface rock formation on volcanoes?
The major process of surface rock formation on volcanoes is volcanic eruptions. When molten rock (magma) from the Earth's mantle reaches the surface, it solidifies to form igneous rocks like basalt or rhyolite. Over time, repeated eruptions build up layers of volcanic rocks that contribute to the formation of the volcano.
Is a melted rock a metamorphic rock?
no, if it is melted, it is igneous
How do volcanoes form a hole at the top?
When Volcanoes erupt the surface is melted by the lava
Why do volcanoes under water eventually become islands?
When a volcano erupts, it releases hot melted rock called magma, which then solidifies into solid rock. When enough of this rock has been released underwater, the result is an island.
Hot melted rock that reaches the surface of the Earth is called what?
If it reaches the surface, it is magma or lava. If it merely intrudes into rocks already formed, it is intrusive. Such as sills and dikes.
How does island arcs form?
and island arc is formed by undersea volcanoes. built over time, and island arc is made of basalt and melted rock from the mantle.
What rock is melted by heat and pressure?
Magma is rock that useally comes from a volcana it melts due to the high pressure and heat
A type of rock formed when melted rock hardens?
Igneous rock is the name for the types of rock formed when melted rock hardens.
