If there were such a thing it would not be soft, it would be liquid, and would be called magma. There really is no completely molten layer of Earth except for the outer core which is composed primarily of liquid iron along with some nickel and other trace elements.
A soft layer of molten rock beneath Earth's surface is known as the asthenosphere. It is a semisolid layer of the upper mantle that lies below the rigid lithosphere. The asthenosphere allows for the movement of tectonic plates.

Is the layer of the rock under the surface called earths crust?
Yes it is call a crust 😁
What do you call the molten rocks under the earth surface?
Molten rocks under the Earth's surface are called magma. When magma reaches the Earth's surface, it is then called lava.
Which molten rock is located under the earth's surface?
Magma.
What molten rock is under the surface?
Molten rock beneath the surface is called magma. It can form in the Earth's mantle and rise to the surface during volcanic eruptions. Magma can vary in composition, temperature, and viscosity depending on the location and geological conditions.
Why are there are almost no extrusive ultra basic rocks in earths crust?
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
What brought molten rock to the surface?
pressure from the heat under the earths surface
What is the name of the molten rock produced under earths surface?
Lava
Is the asthenosphere the partially molten layer of earths core?
The asthenosphere is partially molten; however, it is an interior layer which is separate from the Earth's inner and outer core. In fact, the asthenosphere is located directly under the lithosphere (the brittle outer shell of Earth), extending only a few hundred miles down from the surface.
What is the material at earths surface called?
Molten rock material on Earth's surface is called lava. When under Earth's surface it's called magma
Magma slowly And Under the earth's surface?
Magma is the semi-molten rock layer on which the crust floats.
Is the layer of the rock under the surface called earths crust?
Yes it is call a crust 😁
What do you call the molten rocks under the earth surface?
Molten rocks under the Earth's surface are called magma. When magma reaches the Earth's surface, it is then called lava.
What is under the earths surface and in the earths crust?
mantle
What is the layer under the crust which is hot and partly molten?
The mantle
What is a molten rock under the surface called?
lava
Which molten rock is located under the earth's surface?
Magma.
