What kind of mountain is formed when molten rock rises to the surface and erupts?

volcano?


Is the molten rock from the mantle that rises up the vent and flows out of a volcano?

yes. :)


Is a volcano the result of the cooling and hardening deep underground?

Generally, the volcano is not the result of cooling and hardening deep underground. It is the molten magma in the core of the earth that, when it rises and breaks through the earth's crust, results in volcanic action.


What happens in a volcano?

In a volcano, molten rock from deep within the Earth rises to the surface through a vent, causing an eruption. This eruption releases gases, ash, and lava onto the surrounding area. Volcanic eruptions can be explosive or effusive, with varying levels of intensity and impact.


What is a hole or crack in the earth's crust through which magma rises to the surface called?

It is called a volcano.


What is lava magma and crater?

Lava is molten rock that flows on the Earth's surface during a volcanic eruption. Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. A crater is a bowl-shaped depression near the summit of a volcano that forms after an eruption.


What structure forms when one tectonic plate is pushed below another and liquid rock rises to the surface?

What is an opening in the earth's surface through which steam ashes and lava are forced out?

An opening in the earth's surface through which steam, ashes, and lava are forced out is called a volcano. Volcanoes are formed when magma rises to the surface through vents or openings in the earth's crust, leading to eruptions that release gases, ash, and molten rock.


Where does magma come from?

Magma is generated deep within the Earth's mantle through the melting of rocks due to high temperatures and pressure. This molten rock then rises towards the Earth's surface, where it can erupt as lava through volcanic activity.


When rock heats up and becomes molten rock does it sink closer to the core?

No, molten rock is less dense than solid rock and rises through the crust.


Pipelike structures within a volcano through which magma travels?

These pipelike structures within a volcano are called magma conduits. They are formed when molten magma rises from a magma chamber towards the surface. Conduits can vary in size and shape, and they play a crucial role in allowing the movement of magma, gases, and volcanic materials during an eruption.
