Magma was underground before it was cool.
God damn it just take my upvote, have at it.
Never really thought about it before, but is there a reason for the distinction?
It does determine the rock type after settling. Lava becomes extrusive rocks (typically weaker because crystals have less time to form) were as magma because intrusive rocks (stronger like granite)
English is silly
Liquid hot magma!
So Hot! 🌶️🔥
If you could float an island in the sky, would hovering over lava cause it to be magma? (Can you have lava in a large tunnel, or is that magma?)
Oceans are lava and ice is a mineral, if you stretch the definition enough
