How might under water lava differ from surface lava?
Under water lava would be colder than normal lava. So they would differ a lot.
Where does magma cool?
Extruded magma (lava) can cool on the surface, or under water. Magma also cools underground, forming intrusive igneous rocks such as granite.
Do obsidian rocks cool fast?
Obsidian is formed from very rapidly cooling lava.
Why doesn't water cool the lava?
Water does cool lava, but not instantly. For one thing, lava is a poor conductor of heat, so when lava erupts underwater the outside cools fairly quickly to form solid crust, but the inside remains molten. Second, the water in contact with the lava or crust (which is still quite hot) boils and forms an insulating layer of steam.
How long does the lava stay hot for?
It usually depends on how hot the lava and how cold the water is. I think it can take around half a minute for the lava to cool off when its in cold water and that's all i can think of.
Will lava cool off when it drops in water?
Yes. Lava will cool in water, though it might not be instantaneous.
What form when lava cool so quickly that crystals cannot form?
When lava cools extremely fast it forms volcanic glass, better known as obsidian. This often occurs when lava hits water.
Does lava cool after a few years?
Exposed lava may cool in a matter of hours to days under some circumstances and may cool in seconds if immersed in water. Molten rock underground, called magma, takes years too cool.
What is the difference between lava and water?
that lava is a hot sup stance and water is a cool substance

What cools down lava?
Lava cools in the ocean waters. It will also cool down as it moves.
What happens to lava when it enters the ocean?
On contact with water lava will cool rapidly to form rock.
Do obsidian rocks cool fast?
Obsidian is formed from very rapidly cooling lava.
Why did the villagers pump water on the lava from Eldfell when it erupted in 1973?
to try to cool the lava and keep it from advancing.

Why does lava cool rapidly along mid ocean ridge?
Lava flows from the rifts and is cooled quickly by sea water
