Is lava fluid?
Lava of relatively low viscosity (relatively low silica content, so basic rock such as basalt). Associated with constructive plate margins and with intra-plate volcanoes such as Hawaii.
Molten rock under ground?
Magma or lava. Classified as mafic or felsic, depending on it's minerology.
What is the name of this melted substance from the earth?
Lava is molten rock escaping through holes and cracks (eg volcanos) in the Earth's crust. The molten rock when under the Earth's crust is called magma.
What is a substance that can survive molten lava?
Most likely an igneous rock can withstand molten lava.
What cause molten rock to move upward in the mantle?
Convection. E2020
What do you call a molten rock?
Molten rock is called magma when it is below ground and lava when it is above ground.
Liquid rock is called?
Liquid or molten rock is called magma when it is below the ground and lava when it flows above the ground.
Does magma cool above ground or beneath?
No. Molten rock under the surface is called magma. Molten rock above the surface is referred to as lava.
A molten rock starting with l?
A molten rock that has cooled is an Igneous rock. To my knowledge there is not a specific igneous rock that starts with L. However molten rock above ground is called lava.
When molten rock is below ground is called?
Magma
Molten rock under the ground?
Molten rock under the ground is called magma. It is formed from the melting of rocks in the Earth's mantle. Magma can rise to the surface through volcanic eruptions, or it can solidify underground to form igneous rock.
What is molten rock above ground?
Molten rock above ground is called lava. It is molten rock that flows out of a volcano during an eruption and cools to form solid rock. Lava can vary in temperature, viscosity, and composition depending on the type of volcano.
What magma is called after it erupts above ground?
Magma is called lava once it erupts above ground. Lava is molten rock that flows from a volcano during an eruption.
When molten rock undergoes crystallization above ground what type of rock result?
Extrusive igneous rock is the result of above ground crystallization.
What distinguishes magma from lava?
Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while lava is molten rock that flows onto the Earth's surface. Essentially, magma is underground, and lava is above ground.
What name is given to molten rock above ground?
lava
What is the difference between lava and molten rock?
Lava refers specifically to molten rock that flows on the surface of the Earth during a volcanic eruption. Molten rock, on the other hand, is the hot, liquid rock below the Earth's surface that has not yet erupted. Essentially, all lava is molten rock, but not all molten rock is lava.
