What else can I help you with?
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
What kind of rock forms when magma or lava cool and hardens?
Igneous rocks
How do igneous rocks form?
Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material called magma or lava.
Are rocks formed by lava or magma?
Magma
How did the lava cool from hot lava to hard rock?
The minerals in magma form crystals when solidifying, giving igneous rocks their characteristic hardness.
Rocks that are produced when magma or lava cools and hardens are called .?
Rocks that are produced when magma or lava cools and hardens are called Igneous rocks.
What happens to magma and lava once they cool and harden?
Once magma and lava cool and harden, they solidify to form igneous rocks. The texture and composition of the rocks depend on the cooling rate and mineral content. Over time, these rocks can be uplifted, eroded, and transformed in the Earth's crust through various geological processes.
What forms when rocks or minerals partially or completely melt?
Lava and magma are two forms of melted rocks
Why is lava and magma not a rock?
Lava and magma are not rocks because they are liquids and cant harden because they are to hot to harden and cant cool themselves down long enough to form a hard structure. Magma and lava is rock - it's just been superheated by the Earth's core.
Where does magma cool?
Magma cools and solidifies either underground within the Earth's crust, forming intrusive igneous rocks like granite, or when it erupts onto the Earth's surface as lava and cools quickly, forming extrusive igneous rocks like basalt.
How are rocks that form from magma and lava different?
They are different because lava is when it hits earth's atmosphere; magma turns to lava. Magma is when its inside the volcano. They are different because of the color: darker/blacker and magma rocks are way hotter. Lava rocks are colder and fragile.
Magma that has reached the earths surface?
When magma reaches the Earth's surface, it is called lava. Lava can flow out of a volcano during an eruption and can cool to form igneous rocks. The characteristics of the lava, such as its temperature and composition, can influence the type of volcanic eruption that occurs.
