This should probably be asked in Biology.

beccaboo333 · Answer

Also, this isn't the hardest question. Just learn some things between magma and lava, then determine what it could be.

beccaboo333 · Answer

Magma: hot fluid or semifluid material below or within the earth's crust from which lava and other igneous rock is formed by cooling.
Lava: hot molten or semifluid rock erupted from a volcano or fissure, or solid rock resulting from cooling of this.
both definitions found through google.

what u think

beccaboo333 · Answer

i wouldnt think it's a or b

beccaboo333 · Answer

so that leaves you with either C or D.

anonymous · Answer

whaat

beccaboo333 · Answer

But it can't be C because they aren't technically a solid rock.

beccaboo333 · Answer

that then leaves you with D, which makes the most sense. Both are found at different depths below the surface until they rise out.

I'm thinkin A or D

jdoe0001 · Answer

is almost like asking what's the difference between a river and a creek
well, is the same thing, one is just wider than the other

magma is lava found under the earth's crust
lava is magma found above the earth's crust

anonymous · Answer

ya but lava is magma that reached earths surface (B) <<maybe

jdoe0001 · Answer

anonymous · Answer

no, doller it's not B magma is below the lava is earths surface

jdoe0001 · Answer

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

jdoe0001 · Answer

heheh, I'd say the least ambiguous is D
