'Magma' while it is still in or below the Earth's surface and when it reaches or flows out on the Earth's surface it is called 'lava'.
Magma from the 'magma' chamber can form a 'lava lake' at the surface and the lake can drain down the volcano in 'lava tubes' to form 'lava flows' or 'pillow lavas' if the lava tubes drain into the sea.
What else can I help you with?
What do you call when lava beneath the crust?
Magma; they are both the same substance, but lava has been exposed to the surface.
Is melted rock that reaches Earth surface and forms extrusive igneous rock when it cools?
Yes, once-molten rock that cooled on the surface had been extruded from the earth. That is why it is classified as extrusive igneous rock.
Where are Earth's volcanoes located on Earth's surface?
inside whats called earths ring of fire where there has been the most volcano eruptions
Can Plutons be studied on Earth's surface as they form?
No, plutons are formed deep within the Earth's crust under high pressure and temperature conditions. They are typically not exposed at the surface during their formation. Geologists study plutons after they have been uplifted and exposed by erosion or tectonic processes.
Is melted rock that reaches Earth's surface and forms extrusive igneous rock when it cools?
Yes, melted rock that reaches Earth's surface is known as lava. When lava cools and solidifies quickly on the surface, it forms extrusive igneous rock like basalt or andesite with fine-grained texture due to rapid cooling.
What percent of earths surface has been altered by humans?
75%
Is granite below or above the surface?
Granite forms below the surface, but it can be found at the surface where it has been exposed by erosion or uplift.
What do you call when lava beneath the crust?
Magma; they are both the same substance, but lava has been exposed to the surface.
What are solid particle that have been deposited on earths surface called?
Sediments is pieces of solid material that have been deposited on Earth's surface. The sediments have been deposited by wind, water, ice, gravity, or chemical precipitation.
Is melted rock that reaches Earth surface and forms extrusive igneous rock when it cools?
Yes, once-molten rock that cooled on the surface had been extruded from the earth. That is why it is classified as extrusive igneous rock.
Have there been any erosions on Uluru?
Yes if you look at the surface of Uluru you will see signs of it everywhere after all it has been exposed to wind and water for thousands of years.
Where are Earth's volcanoes located on Earth's surface?
inside whats called earths ring of fire where there has been the most volcano eruptions
What fraction of earths surface has been altered by humans use?
Approximately 75% of the Earth's land surface has been altered by human activities, including agriculture, urban development, and infrastructure. This alteration has had significant impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity.
Can Plutons be studied on Earth's surface as they form?
No, plutons are formed deep within the Earth's crust under high pressure and temperature conditions. They are typically not exposed at the surface during their formation. Geologists study plutons after they have been uplifted and exposed by erosion or tectonic processes.

Yes, melted rock that reaches Earth's surface is known as lava. When lava cools and solidifies quickly on the surface, it forms extrusive igneous rock like basalt or andesite with fine-grained texture due to rapid cooling.
How has the earths surface changed since the beginning of earths time?
The Earth's surface has changed significantly over time due to processes such as plate tectonics, erosion, and volcanic activity. Continents have shifted positions, mountains have formed and eroded, and oceans have expanded and contracted. These changes have been ongoing for billions of years and continue to shape the Earth's surface today.
Tectonic plates are present on the earths surface because what?
If we didn't have tectonic plates nothing would be living. We would have been burnt by the moulten lava
