When molten or liquid rock, known as lava, reaches the Earth's surface, it can flow and spread out, forming various volcanic landforms such as lava flows, domes, and plateaus. As it cools and solidifies, it crystallizes into igneous rock. The movement of lava can also lead to explosive volcanic eruptions, releasing gases and ash into the atmosphere. Additionally, the interaction of lava with water or air can create unique geological features, such as volcanic islands or formations like pillow lava.

Molten rock that reaches the Earth's surface is called lava.
What is a weak spot in the Earths crust where molten rock comes to the surface?
The mid-Atlantic ridge.
Magma is solid?
A natural hot melt composed of a solution of rock-forming materials, steam, and super-heated gases from which igneous rock results.
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.
Is molten rock on earths surface?

What brought molten rock to the surface?
pressure from the heat under the earths surface
What is a molten rock beneath earths surface called?

What molten material is beneath earths surface?

What is the earths deeppest layer?
Its spinning, molten, liquid, iron core.
How are lava form?
Lava is molten rock. The rock deep inside the earths mantle is always molten, and when it occasionally breaks through to the surface, the opening is called a volcano, and the liquid rock spilling out of the top is lava.
Why does magma deep underground stay liquid longer than lava on the surface?
Magma is heated to its molten state via heat from the Earth's core and that heat is held in by the earths crust. Once on the surface there is nothing to keep it molten and is it cooled by the outside air.
