lava becomes igneous rock by cooling down and hardening -ctd
Extrusive igneous rock.
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.
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.
Igneous rock is formed when lava or magma cools.
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!
the type of rock formed when lava or magma cools is igneous rock..
No. It becomes igneous rock.
As soon as the lava hardens, it is considered an igneous rock.
igneous
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.
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.
