magma
Molten rock located beneath the Earth's surface. When magma reaches the surface during a volcanic eruption, it is called lava.
Tief unter dem Vulkan sammelt sich das heiße Magma in einer großen Kammer.
Deep beneath the volcano, the hot magma collects in a large chamber.
'Magma' (magma) is a technical term from geology. You mainly find it in scientific texts, documentaries, or school lessons when the topic is volcanoes.
Im Erdkundeunterricht haben wir über Magma und Vulkanausbrüche gesprochen.
In geography class, we talked about magma and volcanic eruptions.
'Magma' (magma) is often described with adjectives such as 'heiß' (hot), 'flüssig' (liquid), or 'zähflüssig' (viscous). Typical verbs are 'aufsteigen' (to rise) or 'sich ansammeln' (to collect/accumulate), usually in a 'Magmakammer' (magma chamber).
Forscher messen, wie schnell das zähflüssige Magma aufsteigt.
Researchers measure how quickly the viscous magma rises.
The term 'Magma' (magma) is used exclusively for molten rock as long as it is beneath the Earth's surface. A different term is used for the rock that reaches the surface.
Das Gestein im Erdinneren wird Magma genannt.
The rock inside the Earth is called magma.
lava
Lava and Magma are both molten rock, but they differ in location. Beneath the Earth's surface it is called Magma; as soon as it reaches the surface during an eruption, it is called Lava.
Vor dem Ausbruch sammelte sich heißes Magma unter dem Vulkan.
Before the eruption, hot magma gathered beneath the volcano.
Nach dem Ausbruch floss die heiße Lava den Vulkan hinunter.
After the eruption, hot lava flowed down the volcano.
