Where is magma found in the earth?

Answer 1

Magma is under the Earth's surface.

A volcano is one place. Magma is formed largely at tectonic plate boundaries. One process is plate subduction, where one plate actually slips under its adjoining plate (a convergent boundary). The subducted plate is driven into the mantle deep within the earth, where it's so hot, the plate melts and forms magma in a chamber. The pressure builds and can eventually be ejected from a volcano. Its thought the earth cools the mantle layer with this process. The great Ring of Fire around the world along tectonic plate boundaries is where many of the world's volcanoes are situated, an example being Mount Saint Helens, which erupted in 1980.

Answer 2

Magma is found beneath the Earth's surface, primarily in the mantle layer. It can also occur within the Earth's crust in areas where tectonic plates interact, such as subduction zones or mid-ocean ridges.

Answer 3

Magma is Lava before it is outside of the Earth.

In the center of the Earth is magma. When a volcano erupts, the magma flows up from the core of the Earth, through the volcano vents. Once the magma hits the outside world, it is called lava.

Answer 4

Magma is mixture of molten rock, volatiles and solids that has come up from the mantle through the lithosphere to the surface of the earth or flowed into pockets within the lithosphere. Usually you find it on the surface coming from volcanoes - although not all volcanoes release magma. Lava refers both to molten rock expelled by a volcano during an eruption and the resulting rock after solidification and cooling, so magma would be a mixture of lava, solids (which may be solidified lava) and trapped volatiles.

Answer 5

Magma can be found in the upper mantle at plate boundaries and hot spots, and in the magma chambers beneath volcanoes.

Answer 6

magma is a chemical liquid substance very hot that is found underground and out of the mountain in eruption.
