Lava is molten rock that is found oustside of a volcano. It is spewed outwards, breaking through the earth’s surface. On the other hand, magma is molten rock that is inside the magma chamber (which is underground)

Answer: lava is basically what is outside of the earth's surface. And magma is what's inside the earth's surface.

Step-by-step explanation:

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