Magma chamber? Or the lithosphere or a mantle plume, depending on where the volcano is.
No, solid rock located deep in the mantle is not called magma. Magma is molten rock that is found beneath the Earth's surface in the mantle and crust. Solid rock in the mantle is known as the lithosphere.
Yes, magma is indeed molten rock formed in the asthenosphere, which is a layer of the Earth's mantle. Due to the high temperature and pressure in the asthenosphere, rocks can partially melt to form magma. This magma can then rise through the Earth's crust and eventually reach the surface as lava during volcanic eruptions.
A hot spot is formed on a point of the earths surface where strong upward convection currents or plumes of hot magma in the upper mantle push up below the plates of the lithosphere causing volcanic activity. no it doesn'twhen the mantle is weak
The lithosphere is a part of the Earth's outer shell that includes the crust and uppermost part of the mantle. It is formed by the cooling and solidification of magma from Earth's interior.Plate tectonics play a key role in shaping the lithosphere through processes like volcanic activity, subduction, and spreading of tectonic plates.
Hot Spot
Mantle is part of the Earth's lithosphere.
The lithosphere is on the top of the mantle. :=]
Mantle plumes are in the mantle, BELOW the Earth's crust. The circulation of heat from the lower mantle to the upper mantle can cause "hot spots" in the overlying crust, heating the magma in the areas.
The crust is actually part of the lithosphere, though it is 'carried' by the magma of the outer mantle.

No, the asthenosphere is a semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle located below the lithosphere. Magma chambers form in the Earth's crust where magma accumulates before rising to the surface as lava during volcanic activity.

No because weather has no affect on the earth mantle and the mantle is the source of magma for the volcano.
