It's molten rock erupted from a volcano.

Earth's lithosphere, its rigid outer shell, generally represents the solid state of matter.

I'm trying to figure out the 3 stages of matter for rock. I know the solid state is rock and the liquid state is lava (or magma if inside the Earth's crust), but I cannot figure out what the gaseous state is (if one exists).P.S. Before someone states that there are actually four states of matter, I know that, but not all chemicals substances have a plasma state.
No. This is simply a change of state from liquid to solid. It is a physical change.
Lava is magma that has reached the surface.

It's a physical change - more intermolecular bonds (bonds between different molecules) are formed due to the cooling of the matter, and the state of matter changes from liquid to solid. The chemical makeup of the lava does not change.

Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park was created in 1975.

Since litho means rock that would be solid. There is some liquid rock, lava, in the mix. There is also water and oil.

The area of Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park is 23.998 square kilometers.
