Is moulten rock the same as lava?

Answer 1

No. Reason:
Molten rock below the surface of the Earth that rises in volcanic vents is known as magma, but after it erupts from a volcano it is called lava.

Answer 2

Usually. Molten rock below the surface is called Magma. Once it comes to the surface it is called Lava. It is usually still called Lava after it hardens also.

Answer 3

no, because a lava is a hardened or cooled form of the molten rock called magma. magma is a molten rock while lava is a cooled magma that was hardened by earth atmospheric substances.
