No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.

What are the kinds of rocks?
All rocks are solid. Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
Are rocks formed by lava or magma?
Magma
Rocks that are produced when magma or lava cools and hardens are called .?
Rocks that are produced when magma or lava cools and hardens are called Igneous rocks.
Why are all extrusive rocks made from lava and not magma?
Magma contains rocks which are not suitable for making extrusive rocks. Magma is only inside the chamber of a volcano, and comes out as lava. There is 98.3% Magma will be made into extrusive rocks.
Are sedimentary rocks made when molten lava cools?
is a sedimentary rock created when lava hardens
What is the most important information on sedimentary rocks?
Probably that they are sedimentary. =] They are made of sediments, and, unlike igneous and metamorphic rocks, are so far unaffected by magma/lava.
Why are there no fossils in a intrusion?
If you mean an intrusion via magma/lava, then fossils would not exist due to the fact that most fossils are found in SEDIMENTARY rock, not IGNEOUS (magma/lava rocks).
What is the difference between igneous and sedimentary rocks?
Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma or lava. Sedimentary rock is formed from the lithification of sediments, generally.
What are kind of rock?
The three kinds of rocks by their method of formation are IGNEOUS rocks, SEDIMENTARY rocks and METAMORPHIC rocks. Igneous rocks cool from magma or lava. Sedimentary rocks form by the deposition of particulates and silt. Metamorphic rocks form from rocks (usually sedimentary) that are compressed and heated underground.
What are sedimentary rocks made of lava or magma?
Neither. Sedimentary rocks are made out of sand, silt, clay, etc. Over time these can accumulate, and under sufficient pressure they are compressed into rock.
What are the kinds of rocks?
All rocks are solid. Igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary.
Name the 3 kinds of rocks?
There are three major types of rock: igneous (formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava) sedimentary (laid down as sediments) and metamorphic (changed by heat and/or pressure)
Are rocks formed by lava or magma?
Magma
How are rocks that form from magma and lava different?
They are different because lava is when it hits earth's atmosphere; magma turns to lava. Magma is when its inside the volcano. They are different because of the color: darker/blacker and magma rocks are way hotter. Lava rocks are colder and fragile.
What is the difference of igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks?
lava and/or magma cools and forms igneous rocks. igneous rocks go through weather and erosion which forms sediments. these sediments are collected and compacted. this causes sedimentary rocks. the sedimentary rocks go through weather and erosion as well as being exposed to heat and pressure. this causes metamorphic rocks. metamorphic rocks go through heat and pressure and then they melt and become lava or magma again. this is called the rock cycle.
Rocks that are produced when magma or lava cools and hardens are called .?
Rocks that are produced when magma or lava cools and hardens are called Igneous rocks.

Magma contains rocks which are not suitable for making extrusive rocks. Magma is only inside the chamber of a volcano, and comes out as lava. There is 98.3% Magma will be made into extrusive rocks.
