  • Magma: Understanding the Molten Rock Beneath Earth's Surface
    The hot liquid that lies under the Earth's crust is called magma.

    Here's a bit more about magma:

    * Composition: Magma is a mixture of molten rock, crystals, and dissolved gases.

    * Location: It's found beneath the Earth's surface, in the upper mantle and lower crust.

    * Temperature: Magma can reach temperatures of over 1,600°F (900°C).

    * Movement: Magma can rise towards the surface due to buoyancy and pressure.

    * Volcanic Eruptions: When magma reaches the surface, it's called lava and can lead to volcanic eruptions.
