What does hardened lava become?

Extrusive igneous rock.


Does a igneous rock forms from lava?

Yes, an igneous rock forms when lava is cooled. It is called an extrusive igneous rock (because lava is extruded onto the surface of the earth). A magma pool that did not erupt as lava can cool to become an intrusive rock.


How does lava become rock?

Lava becomes rock through a process called solidification. When lava cools down and solidifies, it forms igneous rock. This can happen both above ground, creating volcanic rock, and below ground, creating intrusive igneous rock.


What is the order of how igneous rocks are formed?

Igneous rock is formed when lava or magma cools.


How can lava flow from a volcano and become part of the rock cycle and eventually become a flow of lava again?

The lava is melted rock called magma when it is underground, then it is exposed and is then called lava. The volcano erupts, and it hardens into igneous rock. If the igneous rock heats up again, it is lava once more!

What is Igneous rock made?

Igneous rock is formed when molten magma or lava cools and solidifies. This process can happen either below the Earth's surface, resulting in intrusive igneous rocks, or above the surface, forming extrusive igneous rocks.


What must happen to rock before it become an igneous rock?

Before a rock can become an igneous rock, it must undergo melting to transform from solid rock into molten magma or lava. Once this molten material cools and solidifies, either beneath the Earth's surface (forming intrusive igneous rocks) or on the surface following a volcanic eruption (forming extrusive igneous rocks), it becomes igneous rock.
