What else can I help you with?
Is lava rock hot to the touch?
Yes, lava rock is hot to the touch because it retains heat from its formation through volcanic activity.
How is a rock from cooling lava classified?
A rock formed from cooling lava is classified as an igneous rock. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma/lava. They can be further classified based on their mineral composition, texture, and formation process.
A lava flow is an example of what?
A geologic event. An example of an igneous rock formation.
Which process could lead directly to the formation of pumice rock?
The process that could directly lead to the formation of pumice rock is volcanice eruptions (explosive eruption of lava from a volcano).
What type of fine rock is formed from lava?
eventually it cools and turns into an Igneous rock formation.
What type of volcanic rock fragments or lava come out of the kilauea volcano?
Kilauea generally produces lava flows and lava fountains. Its current activity has also involved the formation of lava lakes. All of the lava involved is basaltic.

What happens to hot lava when heat is taken away?
When heat is taken away from hot lava, it begins to cool and solidify into solid rock. This process can result in the formation of volcanic rocks such as basalt or obsidian, depending on the speed at which the lava cools.
Is lava NOT considered to be a rock?
Lava is a molten rock from a volcano, and is rock.
What feature is formed when lava cuts across rock layers and hardens?
A dike is formed when lava cuts across rock layers and hardens. This igneous intrusion results in a narrow, tabular rock formation that can be exposed on the Earth's surface due to erosion or uplift.
What is a slab of volcanic rock called?
A slab of volcanic rock is called a "lava flow" or a "lava rock".
