What else can I help you with?
Where are rocks came from?
when lava emerges on out of mountain then the molten lava cool to form rocks.
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
How did the lava cool from hot lava to hard rock?
The minerals in magma form crystals when solidifying, giving igneous rocks their characteristic hardness.
How extrusive rocks form?
extrusive rocks can form from Basaltic Lava and Andesitic Lava. :)
How do igneous rocks form?
Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material called magma or lava.
How do you make rocks?
Rocks aren't man-made.
What happens to magma and lava once they cool and harden?
Once magma and lava cool and harden, they solidify to form igneous rocks. The texture and composition of the rocks depend on the cooling rate and mineral content. Over time, these rocks can be uplifted, eroded, and transformed in the Earth's crust through various geological processes.
Why are lava flows finer grained than intrusive igneous rocks?
Lava flows cool rapidly compared to the cooling of rocks underground. The slower cooling time of intrusive igneous rocks allows larger crystal formation. Generally, the more cooling time, the larger the crystals.
Molten rocks that cool at the earths surface are known as?
Lava.
What are kind of rock?
The three kinds of rocks by their method of formation are IGNEOUS rocks, SEDIMENTARY rocks and METAMORPHIC rocks. Igneous rocks cool from magma or lava. Sedimentary rocks form by the deposition of particulates and silt. Metamorphic rocks form from rocks (usually sedimentary) that are compressed and heated underground.
What rocks come from lava flow?
Lava flows cool to form extrusive igneous rock. Most lava flows consist of basaltic lava, cooling to form a dark rock called basalt. Some, however, may consist of andesite or, rarely, rhyolite and similar lavas.
What materials do rocks form from?
Magma or Lava
