No. Magma is molten rock that is beneath earth's surface. When it erupts it can form lava or pyroclastic material. Although pyroclastic material can form rocks, most rocks are not from pyroclastic material.

Are magma and rock both pyroclastic?
No. Magma is not pyroclastic, and most rock isn't either. Pyroclastic material is ash and rock fragments ejected during explosive volcanic eruptions. Magma is molten rock beneath the earth's surface.
What igneous rock is formed from magma or lava cools and hardens?
Cooled magma, lava, or pyroclastic material is igneous rock. Cooled magma forms intrusive igneous rock, while lava and pyroclastic material form extrusive rock. Anything beyond that depends on more specific factors.
What is the melted rock which flows out of the earths surface is called?
Magma, or pyroclastic flow.
Is a material magma?
No. Magma is molten rock that has not erupted. After it erupts it may or may not form pyroclastic material depending on how explosive the eruption is.
How does an Igneous rock turn into Magma?
No. If it cools as magma it will form an intrusive igneous rock. To form an extrusive igenous rock it must erupt from a volcano, where it becomes lava or pyroclastic material.
What materials can you found on magma?
rock
What materials are ejected from volcanos?
Pyroclastic Materials. Any composition of lava can produce pyroclastic materials. Pyroclastic fragments are ejected from the volcano as solid fragments, often solidifying as they leave the volcanic vent, or fly through the air. Tephra comes in all sizes.
What results when a magma chamber partially empties?
When a magma chamber partially empties, the remaining magma can solidify and form igneous rocks. This can result in the formation of a volcanic neck, which is a vertical column of solidified magma that remains after the surrounding rock has eroded away. Alternatively, if the magma is expelled through volcanic eruptions, it can form volcanic deposits such as lava flows and pyroclastic materials.
What is a dense cloud of super hot gasses and rock fragments that races downhill from an erupting volcano called?
Theyse hot clouds, when they flow downward, are called pyroclastic flows.
What material makes up a shield cone?
A shield volcano is usually comprised almost entirely of fluid magma flows. Cone volcanoes are the result of pyroclastic materials building up around a volcanic vent.
What are 3 examples of Pyroclastic debris?
Rock debris blasted into the air during volcanic eruption; such as magma bombs, cinder, and ash.
What is magma and fragments of rock that are ejected into the atmosphere during a violent volcanic eruption?
Pyroclastic Material; I got all the other matching questions and it was the only one left so therefore it is right.
