What is the movement of magma inside the earth?

The movement of magma is the mechanism that leads to the intrusion of plutonic igneous rocks, with or without the extrusion of vulcanic igneous rocks. It has nothing to do with convection (such as is seen in the convection of the mantle). Magma rises due to density differences inherent in molten (that is, liquid) rock in a solid environment.
