What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten material within the earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?
Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.
What do scientists call the rock that is formed when magma cools below Earth's surface?
An intrusive igneous rock.
What do you call it when rocks are liquified then hardens into solid rock?
This is known as igneous petrogenesis.The liquification process is known as melting (or partial melting as commonly not all mantle material melts at the same temperature). This material is then normally either erupted onto the Earth's surface forming extrusive igneous rocks or intruded into the earth's crust froming intrusive igneous rocks when it cools. Together they can be thought of as the formational process that igenous rocks undergo which is known as igneous petrogenesis.
What do you call the crust making up the continents?
The crust that makes up the continents, or land masses on Earth is called continental crust. The crust that makes up the oceans is called oceanic crust.
What do you call the thin outer layer of the earth's surface?
The Crust

Igneous rocks.
What do you call the thin and thick part of the crust?
The thin part of the crust is called ocean basins. The thick part of the crust is called continents.
What do you call the crust making up the continents?
The crust that makes up the continents, or land masses on Earth is called continental crust. The crust that makes up the oceans is called oceanic crust.
What is cooled lava call?
Cooled lava is called a igneous rock once it has completely cooled and hardened. Some people just call it lava rock.
What do you call the thin outer layer of the earth's surface?
The Crust
Is the layer of the rock under the surface called earths crust?
Yes it is call a crust 😁
