In real life
Real volcanoes
Underground, melted rock is called magma. When it comes out at the surface, it is called lava. [1]
Lava is very, very hot. At Kīlauea volcano, in Hawaii, it comes out at about 1,170 °C. [2]
Its color gives an idea of how hot it is: yellow is the hottest; orange, a little less; red, less still. [2]
As it cools, lava turns dark red, gray or black, and it hardens. [1]
