It cools down and essentially freezes as the temperature drops below the meltng point.
It cools and solidifies. It is the same as water turning to ice, only at a much higher temperature.
Lava becomes solid rock by cooling and solidifying. It is effectively freezing.
it cools down
It solidifies once it cools
The molten lava solidifies into solid rock on cooling.
The mantle is the source of molten rock. This molten material can, if the tectonics are right, penetrate up through the solid outer mantle and the crust to deliver lava, which is molten rock (magma) that has reached the surface of the earth.
Molten rock may exist either on the surface or underground. It is only considered lava when it is at the surface. Underground molten rock is called magma.
No. This is simply a change of state from liquid to solid. It is a physical change.
Streams of molten lava out of a volcano are called 'lava flows'.
Volcanoes spew lava. Lava is molten rock. Molten rock is liquid.

molten lava to stone
Igneous Rock
Magma is molten rock under ground whereas molten rock that flows out of the ground is lava and igneous rock is solid when the lava or magma hardens.
It's a physical change - more intermolecular bonds (bonds between different molecules) are formed due to the cooling of the matter, and the state of matter changes from liquid to solid. The chemical makeup of the lava does not change.

the earth's inner core is solid, and the crust is solid, obviously, because we can walk on it.
Magma is not plasma since plasma is neither solid ,liquid or gas while magma is always solid when cool and liquid when hot.
