What is a hardened layer of magma called?
laccolith
What layer of earth forms the continents?
the crust. the layer below that is the layer of molten lava called the mantle. the continental plates move and float on this. this is known as continental drift
What are the differences between a lava plateau and a dome mountain?
In dome mountains, uplift pushes a large body of hardened magma toward the surface. The hardened magma forces the layers of rock to bend upward in a dome shape. In a lava plateau, lava can flow out of two long cracks in an area. The thin, runny lava floods the area and travels far before cooling and solidifying.
What is the landform that when a mass of hardened magma is uplifted causing the layers of rock to bend upward?
It is a lava plateau.
What is the name of the liquid rock layer of the Earth?
Magma. It is lava once it leaves the Earth's crust.
What is a hardened layer of magma called?
laccolith
Is the bottom of the deepest ocean lava?
no way its basically sand and hardened magma (ya know, the mantle layer of the earth). If it was lava we'd be dead. xP
Is hardened lava a mineral?
Hardened lava is considered igneous rock, composed of minerals.
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 cave forms when molten rock flows out from beneath a hardened surface of lava and leaves behind an underground chamber?
This is called a lava tube.
What are the cycles of lava?
The cycles are molten rock, lava, and then hardened lava like obsidian.
What are melted rocks that cool and harden called?
Molten rock is magma. It is called lava once it has cooled and hardened.
Layers of lava emitted by the volcano?
The different layers of a volcano are made from the lava and ash produced by the volcano. Some volcanoes have different thicknesses of layers or only one type of layer depending on the kind of eruption and how much ash it produces.
What is the solid magma core of a volcano called?
Magma is underground, when it reaches the surface it becomes lava. So solidified magma is really lava. The lava flow is the liquid lava as it goes down the mountain, when hard its just hardened lava. Magma is underground, when it reaches the surface it becomes lava. So solidified magma is really lava. The lava flow is the liquid lava as it goes down the mountain, when hard its just hardened lava.
How hot is hardened lava?
it is really cold
What forms from hardened lava?
igneous rocks
What is a hardened layer in a volcano?
As lava cools, it hardens and forms a thick layer of rock. These rocks are known as igneous rocks. An example of an igneous rock is pumice, which is used in spa treatments to soften feet.
