Igneous rock
When molten material from beneath Earth's surface cools and hardens, it forms igneous rocks. Igneous rocks can be either intrusive (formed underground) or extrusive (formed on the surface), depending on where the cooling and hardening process occurs.
When molten material from beneath the Earth's surface cools but doesn't harden, it forms a type of rock called volcanic glass, or obsidian. Obsidian is a black, glassy rock formed from rapidly cooled lava, which prevents the growth of mineral crystals typically found in other types of rock.
magma
Igneous rocks are formed when melted rock (magma or lava) from inside the Earth cools and hardens on or under the Earth's surface. This process involves the solidification of molten material, leading to the formation of rocks like granite, basalt, and obsidian.
The molten liquefied rock is called lava when it erupts from a volcano or fissure and cools into a porous black and hard material known as basalt or igneous rock.
The molten material deep inside Earth is called magma. When magma cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rock.

Molten material below ground is called magma, and molten material above ground is called lava.

Magma is inside the volcano, and it becomes lava when it comes out. :)
This is false. Molten material below earth's surface is known as magma. It is only known as lava once it has been erupted onto the surface.
Molten material found inside the Earth is called magma. Magma is a mixture of molten rock, suspended mineral grains, and dissolved gases. It is found beneath the Earth's surface, often in the mantle and near tectonic plate boundaries.
