Why lava happens ?

lava, magma (molten rock) emerging as a liquid onto Earth’s surface. The

term lava is also used for the solidified rock formed by the cooling of a
molten lava flow. The temperatures of molten lava range from about 700 to
1,200 °C (1,300 to 2,200 °F). The material can be very fluid, flowing almost
like syrup, or it can be extremely stiff, scarcely flowing at all. The higher the
lava’s silica content, the higher its viscosity.
