Answer:

Scientists use the term magma for molten rock that is underground and lava for molten rock that breaks through the Earth's surface.

What is the difference between magma and lava? Magma is hot, molten rock under the earth's surface; lava is when magma reaches the earth's surface (it is then called lava). ... A mountain built of lava and ash from within the earth.

One must understand the difference between Magma and Lava to fully grasp the meanings between one and the other. Magma is composed of molten rock and is stored in the Earth’s crust. Lava is magma that reaches the surface of our planet through a volcano vent. As they are both molten rock that emerges from below the Earth, it can get confusing identifying one from the other.
