Magma+vs.+Lava

==I am sure that most of you have heard both of these words being used but what is the difference? Why are there two words for two things that seem exactly the same. Well this is because they are similar but not the same thing, magma is molten rock which is inside the Earth, it is beneath our feet and is not seen but when it does manage to rise be exposed to the surface and exposed to air or water it is considered lava, this is no the only difference lava is also more viscous and on the other hand magma is more like liquid. Both of these substances are both important to the formation of land through hotspots in which it punches out through. Magma/ Lava can be found in the outer core, rising plumes and the surface.==
