How does volcanic rock form?
Volcanic rock forms by lava that has come from a volcano, cools and solidifies to form the rock.
What rock is formed when lava cools at the service of the earth?
Extrusive igneous rock such as basalt forms when lava cools at the earth's surface.
Is Basalt intrusive or extrusive?
extrusive it forms when lava from a volcanic eruption cools on the surface.
Does lava turn into a rock when it cools?
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.
How do igneous rock forms from lava?
The lava cools.
Which type of rock comes out of a volcano as lava the cools?
When lava cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rock. The specific type of igneous rock that forms from lava is called extrusive or volcanic rock, which includes examples like basalt and pumice. These rocks typically have a fine-grained texture due to the rapid cooling of lava on the Earth's surface.
When lava cools rapidly a crust forms on the surface of the flow If the low continues the crust wrinkles and forms volcanic rock known as what?
Pahoehoe.
When igneous rock forms what does magma and lava do?
Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while lava is molten rock that flows onto the surface during a volcanic eruption. When magma cools and solidifies underground, it forms intrusive igneous rocks, such as granite. When lava cools and solidifies on the surface, it forms extrusive igneous rocks, such as basalt.
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 forms when volcanoes erupts and the lava cools?
the lave cools and forms igneous rock
What types of rock does lava formed?
When lava cools it forms extrusive igneous rock.
Is volcanic glass an intrusive or extrusive igneous rock?
Volcanic glass is an extrusive igneous rock. It forms when molten lava cools quickly on the Earth's surface, preventing the formation of crystals.
