Magmanoun

Magmanoun

Any soft doughy mass.

Magmanoun

The residuum after expressing the juice from fruits.

Magmanoun

Magmanoun

molten rock in the earth's crust

Magma

Magma (from Ancient Greek μάγμα (mágma) 'thick unguent') is the molten or semi-molten natural material from which all igneous rocks are formed. Magma is found beneath the surface of the Earth, and evidence of magmatism has also been discovered on other terrestrial planets and some natural satellites.

Lavanoun

The molten rock ejected by a volcano from its crater or fissured sides.

Lavanoun

Magma.

Lavanoun

A shade of red, named after the volcanic lava.

Lavanoun

The melted rock ejected by a volcano from its top or fissured sides. It flows out in streams sometimes miles in length. It also issues from fissures in the earth's surface, and forms beds covering many square miles, as in the Northwestern United States.

Lavanoun

rock that in its molten form (as magma) issues from volcanos; lava is what magma is called when it reaches the surface

Lava

Lava is molten rock (magma) that has been expelled from the interior of a terrestrial planet (such as Earth) or a moon. Magma is generated by the internal heat of the planet or moon and it is erupted as lava at volcanoes or through fractures in the crust, usually at temperatures from 800 to 1,200 °C (1,470 to 2,190 °F).
