Lava is inside the earth as magma, and at certain places like volcanoes, calderas, or cracks in the tectonic plates under the sea, it seeps out and we see it as lava,; molten rock.

Volcanoes form when magma rises to the surface through cracks in the Earth's crust, typically near tectonic plate boundaries. As magma accumulates and pressure builds, eventually causing an eruption in the form of lava, ash, and gas. These eruptions shape the cone of the volcano over time.
