Magma:
Magma comes from an Italian word that means a thick, pasty substance, which is how molten rock behaves within the Earth.
Magma, on the other hand, is more of a molten rock that contains volatile substances within it.
These substances usually lie below the surface of the Earth itself.
Magma usually contains itself within magma chambers.
