Volcanic rocks are hot if they are freshly erupted. Otherwise, no.
volcanic rocks
Geysers, hot springs, fumaroles, and mud pots are some of the volcanic features that form as a result of hydrothermal activity associated with hot volcanic rocks and magmas. These features occur when groundwater comes into contact with magma or hot rocks underground, leading to the circulation of heated water that eventually reaches the surface in various forms.
When hot molten material is thrown out of the earth's crust, it forms volcanic rocks such as basalt, andesite, or rhyolite. These rocks cool and solidify to create landforms like volcanic cones, lava flows, or volcanic domes.
Yes. Volcanic rocks are extrusive igneous rocks.
The most obvious reason for the temperature of volcanic rock is that it comes from within the Earth. Once you get below the cool, calm surface that we live on, you get into the mantle, lithosphere, asthenosphere, etc. where the temperatures are so hot that rocks melt and create magma. That magma is what spews out of volcanoes. Once it cools, it creates rocks, but in the meantime, those rocks are extremely hot.
No. Volcanic rocks are made of the same materials that other rocks are.
No. Only extrusive igneous rocks are volcanic.
Hot molten rocks from the interior of the earth are called magma when they are beneath the earth's surface and lava when they reach the surface through volcanic eruptions.
Volcanic rocks are classified as extrusive igneous rocks, forming from the solidification of lava.
No. Volcanic rocks are extrusive. Intrusive rocks are sometimes called plutonic.
Magma that is ejected during a volcanic eruption forms extrusive igneous rocks. They are also referred to as volcanic rocks.
No. Volcanic rocks are igneous (although not all igneous rocks are volcanic). Sedimentary rocks are made of sediment naturally cemented together. However, volcanic (or extrusive igneous) rocks can be eroded into sediment, which can be cemented, compacted, or otherwise become sedimentary rock such as sandstone or conglomerate. It is then not considered igneous.
