What is the difference between lava and magma?

Magmais the molten material beneathEarth's crust. This material consists of rock, gases, and mineral crystals. The temperature of the magma can be as high as 5000degrees Fahrenheit. The pressure is also very high since the magma supports the weight of Earth's crust.Lava is the molten rock that comes out of a volcano or from a fissure in Earth's surface. A fissure is a crack. The molten rock comes from the underground magma. Lava is thus magma that has broken through Earth's surface.
