In a way. A magma is hotter then the surrounding rock, that's why the magma is molten and the rock is not. But because of this, some heat of the magma is melting the surrounding rock. You might want to classify this as erosion, but it's simply the melting of the rock surrounding the magma.
What else can I help you with?
How does a volcano form into a mountain?
Over time the magma chamber found inside volcanos is cut off from the mantle by tectonic plate movement. Without constant exchange of hot magma from the mantel to replace the colder magma in the volcano, (convection), the magma inside the volcano hardens into igneous rock.
What is inside the volcano to erupt?
Magma is the substance inside volcanoes. If the melted igneous rocks are inside a volcano, it is called magma. When the substance exits the volcano, it is called lava. When you see fire, that is when a lava flow travels down a mountain and reacts with other mediums such as houses.
What rock is formed inside a volcano?
according to my science class, its igneous rock. igneous rock is formed when magma/lava cools. if it cools slowly, it is conglomerate (coarse-grained or heavily grained..chunky.) if it cools fastly, it is fine grained (smooth.) i hope this helps!
How do magma turn into extrusive igneous rock?
Lava can turn into igneous rock in 2 ways. When the lava cools to a hardening point inside the volcano it is called intrusive igneous rock. When lava cools outside of the volcano it is called extrusive igneous rock.
Volcanoes erupt hot liquid rock what type of rock is produced by volcanos?
Igneous rock... There are extrusive (formed on the exterior of a volcano by lava) and intrusive (formed on the inside of a volcano by magma).
How does magma inside a volcano become a lava flow outside?
Magma inside a volcano can become a lava flow outside when pressure builds up inside the volcano, causing the magma to erupt through the volcano's vent or fissures. As the magma reaches the Earth's surface, it is then referred to as lava. Once outside the volcano, the lava can flow downhill and solidify to form igneous rock.
What type of rock can be formed in a volcano?
ummm volcanic rock? but really its black rock and its all over near the hawaiian volcanoes! :)
Is lava in the magma?
Lava is when it's outside the volcano, magma is when it's inside of the volcano.
What forms outside the volcano when magma turns into lava?
igneous rock
If magma inside a volcano cooled into rock wind and water wore away the weaker rock surrounding it then the lanform left is made of?
Igneous rock.
Melted rock that forms inside the Earth is called .?
Melted rock that forms inside the Earth is called magma. When magma rises to the surface and erupts through a volcano, it is referred to as lava. Magma can solidify underground to form igneous rocks once it cools and crystallizes.
When Magma is launched from a volcano forms what type of rock?
A volcano is made of extrusive igneous rock. The specific type of igneous rock will vary from one volcano to another.
