Do basalt and rhyolite form magma?
No. Both basalt and rhyolite are formed from molten rock erupts from a volcano.
What kind of rock is formed after a volcano erupts?
Extrusive igneous rock such as basalt, rhyolite, pumice, and obsidian.
What turns magma into rhyolite?
Rhyolite is a volcanic rock formed when highly viscous magma rich in silica erupts. In many cases rhyolite comes in the form of tuff, formed when the material is blasted out explosively, forming ash and pumice which eventually settle to the ground. Sometimes this tuff is so hot it gets welded into a solid rock. In other cases it erupts as lava. This lava will either form extremely thick lava flows or pile up on the vent as a lava dome.
What types of rock does a volcano make?
That depends on the chemistry of magma the volcano erupts - Basalt, andesite, rhyolite etc. but Generically the rock coming out of a volcano is called lava rock (pahoehoe or aa) but one can also get pumice or ignimbrites.
Rhyolite is an example of a?
A rhyolite volcano is a volcano that erupts rhyolitic lava or pyroclasitc material. Rhyolite is an igneous rock formed from the eruption of extremely viscous silica rich material. Eruptions involving rhyolite can be extremely large and violent. In some cases, however, rhyolite can build into lava domes or form thick, extremely slow lava flows.
Do basalt and rhyolite form magma?
No. Both basalt and rhyolite are formed from molten rock erupts from a volcano.
Why is rhyolite found in Yellowstone National Park?
Yellowstone is the site of a very large volcano that is often referred to as a supervolcano. Much of what it erupts is rhyolite.

What kind of volcano is formed after a volcano erupts?
Any kind of volcano can form after the eruption. If it doesn't erupt and never has then it isn't a volcano.
