Ah, liquid rock is a fascinating thing, my friend. It's just like when you're painting with warm, flowing colors on your canvas. When rock deep beneath the Earth's surface gets so hot that it melts, it turns into liquid rock, also known as magma. This magma can eventually make its way to the surface and flow out as lava, creating beautiful landscapes and new land for all of us to enjoy.
