GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -When magma reaches the surface it is then called lava and the eruptions of lava and ash produce volcanoes. The lava that reaches the Earth’s surface will harden and become igneous rock. When the magma does not reach the surface it produces a variety of geologic structures.

Detailed explanation-4: -This forms magma (molten rock). The magma rises and collects in chambers within the crust. As magma fills the chamber, pressure grows. If the pressure gets high enough, the magma can break through the crust and spew out in a volcanic eruption.

Detailed explanation-5: -Molten rock that is inside the surface of the earth is known as Magma.
