The rock that is formed from light-colored lave is called rhyolite.
The rock that is formed from light-colored lave is called rhyolite.
Rhyolite is a common rock that forms from light-colored lava. It is composed mainly of silica-rich minerals such as quartz and feldspar, giving it a light color. Rhyolite has a fine-grained texture and often contains small crystals.
Rhyolite or Rhyolyte (Cant be exact on spelling but its the thought that counts)
Basalt: a dark-colored, fine-grained rock that forms from rapidly cooled lava. Granite: a light-colored, coarse-grained rock that forms from slowly cooled magma deep within the Earth's crust. Obsidian: a shiny, black volcanic glass that forms from rapidly cooled lava without crystallization.
Magma doesn't produce lava. Magma is lava. Magma is called magma when it is under the ground but when it is released via a volcano it is called lava when it is above ground. The magma or lava can produce dark to light color rocks after it cools depending on the composition of the magma or lava. There is also a range in the color of the lava depending on it composition and temperature also.
Rock itself is solid and so does not have visocosity. However, the lava that forms basalt is low viscosity.
It can become many different rocks and minerals depending on how fast it cools. The faster it cools; the harder and darker-colored the rock will be. The slower it cools the more soft and light-colored the rock will be.
The lava cools.
A type of igneous rock that forms from lava on Earth's surface is called basalt. Basalt is a dark-colored rock that is often found in volcanic regions and has a fine-grained texture. It is commonly used in construction, as it is durable and has good resistance to weathering.
Pumice is a light and spongy rock that forms from lava that is highly frothy with gas bubbles. It is often used in beauty treatments and horticulture due to its porous nature.
When lava cools it forms extrusive igneous rock.
Yes, when lava cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rock. The type of rock that forms depends on the chemical composition of the lava and the rate at which it cools.
