GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Magma is extremely hot liquid and semi-liquid rock located under Earth’s surface. When magma flows onto Earth’s surface, it is called lava.

Detailed explanation-2: -Scientists use the term magma for molten rock that is underground and lava for molten rock that breaks through the Earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -Magma that reaches the Earth’s crust and is thrown out from a volcano is called lava.

Detailed explanation-4: -Deep within the Earth it is so hot that some rocks slowly melt and become a thick flowing substance called magma. Since it is lighter than the solid rock around it, magma rises and collects in magma chambers. Eventually, some of the magma pushes through vents and fissures to the Earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-5: -Molten rock below the surface of the Earth that rises in volcanic vents is known as magma, but after it erupts from a volcano it is called lava.
