Magma is the molten material beneath Earth's crust. This material consists of rock, gases, and mineral crystals. The temperature of the magma can be as high as 5000 degrees 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.

Magma is molten rock under the earth's crust.
Lava is magma that reaches the surface through fissures (volcanoes). They're technically the same thing: molten rock~ one underground, the other above.

Magma is internal to a volcano as in magma chamber and lava is the flow process.

Definition: Molten rock that lies beneath the surface of the earth; once exposed, magma becomes lava.

Magma is molten (melted) rock under the ground
Lava is molten (melted) rock above the ground
Fact: lava is usually found after a volcanic explosion

Magma is what's inside the volcano and lava is what magma becomes once it pours out.
