What else can I help you with?
Does lava from a volcano go into the ground?
no, the lava cools on the surface and hardens
What substance is obtained when volcano lava cools at the surface?
Extrusive igneous rock.
Do laccolith features occur when volcano lava cools at the surface?
No. A laccolith is an intrusive feature.
What features may occur when volcano lava cools at the surface?
When volcano lava cools at the surface, it may form different features such as lava rock formations like basalt columns, lava tubes, and aa or pahoehoe lava flows. These features depend on the cooling rate and composition of the lava.
When a volcano erupts lava may flow onto the surface. What type of rock does the lava cooling form?
When lava cools on the surface, it forms igneous rock called basalt.
What happens to the surface of earth when lava cools?
It forms new islands
Is lava magma when it cools down?
No. Lava is magma that has reached the surface.
When volcano lava cools at the surface?
When magma cools at the surface of the Earth, it cools very quickly and hardens on the Earths crust. However, it continues flowing underneath, forming interesting textures.
When a volcano erupts what kind of rock is formed as the lava cools?
When a volcano erupts, the lava that cools and solidifies forms igneous rock. Depending on the cooling process, it can be classified as either extrusive igneous rock, such as basalt, which cools quickly on the surface, or intrusive igneous rock, like granite, which cools slowly beneath the surface. The mineral composition and texture of the rock are influenced by the chemical makeup of the lava and the cooling rate.
What shape does sticky lava make?
The typical cone shape of a volcano happens when sticky lava erupts upward. Sticky lava creates a dome shape and the lava cools slowly.
What happens when molten lava flows on the surface of earth?
It cools and forms new land.
Is magma cools faster than magma?
No, magma is located in the volcano when it comes out it is called lava. Lava cools after it comes out. Magma is still heated as the volcano is.
