What else can I help you with?
Does lava from a volcano go into the ground?
no, the lava cools on the surface and hardens
When volcano lava cools at the surface?
When magma cools at the surface of the Earth, it cools very quickly and hardens on the Earths crust. However, it continues flowing underneath, forming interesting textures.
What forms around the vent of a volcano?
the magma cools and hardens and then it becomes the surface of around the volcano like a rock land
What happens when volcano lava cools at the surface?
lava melts and then soldifies and turns into rocks:L
Do laccolith features occur when volcano lava cools at the surface?
No. A laccolith is an intrusive feature.
What kind of volcano creates granite?
Granite is formed when molten rock, or magma, cools and solidifies beneath the Earth's surface. This type of volcano is known as a plutonic or intrusive volcano. These volcanoes do not erupt on the surface but instead form large bodies of igneous rock underground, where the magma slowly cools over time.
Are igneous rocks formed only beneath earth's surface?
No. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed beneath the earth's surface when magma cools and extrusive igneous rocks form when lava extrudes from a volcano and cools.
When a volcano erupts what kind of rock is formed as the lava cools?
When a volcano erupts, the lava that cools and solidifies forms igneous rock. Depending on the cooling process, it can be classified as either extrusive igneous rock, such as basalt, which cools quickly on the surface, or intrusive igneous rock, like granite, which cools slowly beneath the surface. The mineral composition and texture of the rock are influenced by the chemical makeup of the lava and the cooling rate.
Igneous rock form on eath surface?
Igneous rocks do form on the earths surface. A volcano erupts and the lava that comes out cools and hardens forming igneous rocks.
What happens during a volcano and how does it change the surface of the earth?
It releases magma and starts melting/burning the earth until it cools down.
What are two types of igneous rocks?
Two types of igneous rocks are intrusive igneous rocks, which form from magma that cools and solidifies beneath the Earth's surface, and extrusive igneous rocks, which form from lava that cools and solidifies on the Earth's surface.
When a volcano erupts lava may flow onto the surface. What type of rock does the lava cooling form?
When lava cools on the surface, it forms igneous rock called basalt.
