What is the term for rock formed from magma or lava?
Intrusive igneous rocks are thusly formed.
Are lava rocks dormant?
No. Dormant is not a term that applies to rock.
What is a rock that forms when melted form cools and hardens?
igneous
Are pumice stones and lava rock comparable?
Not all lava rock is pumice. Lava rock is a term used synonymously with pumice by some material suppliers. Actually though, any rock formed from cooling lava would be considered a 'lava' rock and would include rocks like pumice, obsidian, and basalt. Only lava has a density less than that of water, allowing it to float.
What do you call molten or melted rocks?
Molten rock is also known as lava. Lava is produced by a volcano that is erupting. Lava temperatures range from 1,292 to 2,192 degrees Fahrenheit.

What are rocks changed by intense pressure and heat become new rocks called?
I think you are looking for the term "Metamorphic".

When is magma?
Magma is the term applied to molten rock beneath the surface of the earth. It is formed when hot (very hot) rocks experience a drop in surrounding pressure, or when subducted wet lithosphere is introduced into the mantle. When it "breaks out" onto the surface of the earth, we call it lava. A link can be found below.
What are smooth rocks that have been worn down by water?
Essentially, the only types of rock that can stand up to this type of erosion are igneous and metamorphic rocks. I am not certain there is a technical or scientific term for this type of rock, but the colloquial or "slang" term for them is river rocks.
Do sedimentary rocks have parent rocks?
In a sense they do, but not in the geologic sense that a metamorphic rock does. Most sedimentary rocks are formed from particles of other rocks which could be a mixture of all three types (sedimentary, igneous, metamorphic). Therefore they would have multiple parents, so the term "parent rock" is not used. The term most used is "source rock'.
How do you use the word zygote in a sentence?
Zygote is the scientific term for the name of the first cell formed by two gamete cells...
