Incorrect.
Known Superhuman Powers: Magma is a mutant with several superhuman powers. She can psionically control the movement of the tectonic plates within the Earth's crust within limited areas, probably no more than a radius of a few city blocks. Within this area she can create small but powerful earthquakes by psionically affecting the Earth's crust. She can also psionically cause magma, or molten rock, from far beneath Earth's surface to rise to and break through the surface, forming miniature volcanoes. Magma's power to create small earthquakes and volcanic eruptions is linked to her emotions. She could unintentionally create minor earthquakes and small-scale volcanic activity by losing control of her temper and becoming unusually angry.
Magma can also telekinetically project fiery blasts of magma at targets. Apparently she does so by turning nearby rock molten and then telekinetically hurling it at her target.
When using her powers Magma's body shines with intense light and gives off tremendous heat. Her hair seems ablaze with fiery light. Neither her own heat nor heat from any other known source can burn or otherwise harm Magma. Although Magma has triggered small earth tremors without taking on her glowing form, she has never been seen to use her power to fire lava blasts while in her ordinary human appearance. Magma is not blinded by the light she gives off in her shining form.
Magma can create flames and project blasts of heat that do not contain any molten rock. However, she apparently prefers to fire magma blasts rather than simple heat blasts, perhaps because the magma blasts have a solid impact that can knock down a target.
The highest level of heat that Magma can generate is not yet known, but it is believed that she can reach at least 850° Fahrenheit.
Magma's powers are dependent upon her contact with the Earth (or at least with a floor that is part of a structure in contact with the ground). Her powers will begin to weaken if she is removed from physical contact with the Earth. However, as soon as she renews this contact, her powers will return to their usual level of strength.
Abilities: Magma is a skilled swordswoman due to her training in Nova Roma. Paraphernalia: Magma's costume and clothing are made from unstable molecules so that they will not be harmed by the tremendous heat she generates.

The thing is Terra can do the same and better.
Well the fact that you didnt even know that Magma could control tectonic plates leads me to believe you havent really read any comics she has been featured in. Try the last few issues of xtreme xmen you might find them helpful.

I wouldn't talk. You don't know much about Terra either. 😛

Not so:
Terra had control over the Earth and often flew on a chunk of rock to reach her destination. Terra could transform the consistency of earth and rock, cause earthquakes, tap into lava flows, and create shapes out of solid rock.
It seems terra had control over the actual rock material itself enabling her to fly on it whereas magma could psionically shift tectonic plates. Magma could also travel through the ground to any point on earth by morphing the ground around her and shifting herself through the earths crust. She was also so attuned to the earth that she could detect the most minute vibrations on or within it. She could also detect underground installations or ancient structures by merely using this attuning ability to give her an image of formations within the ground.
Hardly. I claimed you didn't have any knowledge of Terra. And you responded with an excerpt from a source that isn't your own knowledge. That's why I was being "picky".
As for your analysis. Terra can do exactly the same thing. However I believe she is MUCH more adept in her earth-controlling powers because she can even control asteroids, comets and other ilk of that nature. She once served as ferry through the Asteroid belt.

Thats probably because that excerpt is my knowledge of terras powers and i couldnt have put it better myself.
Terra is hardly more adept at her powers just because she can ferry herself about on a rock. Like i said before you saying that just highlights a difference in their powers. Just like Pyro has control over fireitself Terra seems to control the rock itself whereeas magmas earth manipulation powers are more to do with seismic activity/tectonic plate shifting.
Where has terra actually shifted herself actually through the earth to another part of the world?

Magma can control asteroids as well. Anything that's made of stone, she can control. I think they're too similar.
