It cools down and essentially freezes as the temperature drops below the meltng point.

What happens right after lava cools?
The molten lava solidifies into solid rock on cooling.
Which layer of the earth produces lava and molten rock?
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.
What is the difference between lava and molten rock?
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.
Is lava cooling into lava rocks a chemical change?
No. This is simply a change of state from liquid to solid. It is a physical change.
What are the streams of molten lava spilled out of a volcano called?
Streams of molten lava out of a volcano are called 'lava flows'.
Can a rocks exist in a state other than a solid?
Volcanoes spew lava. Lava is molten rock. Molten rock is liquid.
What happens right after lava cools?

What are some examples of liquid to solid?
molten lava to stone
What is it when molten lava changes into solid rock?
Igneous Rock
How are lava and magma and igneous rock related?
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.
Is molten lava hardening into a rock a physical change?
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.
Which layer of the earth produces lava and molten rock?
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.
Which layer of the earth is completely solid?
the earth's inner core is solid, and the crust is solid, obviously, because we can walk on it.
Is lava a plasma?
Magma is not plasma since plasma is neither solid ,liquid or gas while magma is always solid when cool and liquid when hot.
