What is is a molten rock that erupts from volcanos?
The molten rock that erupts from volcanoes is called lava. When magma, which is found beneath the Earth's surface, rises and reaches the surface during a volcanic eruption, it becomes lava. Once it cools and solidifies, it forms various types of volcanic rock. Lava can flow slowly or erupt explosively, depending on its composition and the gases it contains.
What rocks are found after a volcano erupts?
After a volcano erupts, rocks like basalt, andesite, and dacite are commonly found. Basalt is a dark-colored igneous rock that forms from rapidly cooling lava, while andesite and dacite are intermediate to felsic rocks that cool more slowly. Volcanic ash and pumice, which are both types of volcanic glass, may also be present in the aftermath of an eruption.
What is cooled liquid rock?
Cooled liquid rock is known as magma when it is below the Earth's surface and as lava when it erupts onto the surface. As it cools, it solidifies to form igneous rocks like basalt or granite. This process can happen quickly, as in the case of volcanic eruptions, or slowly, within the Earth's crust.
What is the Hawiian term for lava that flows slowly with rounded folds?
pahoehoe
What are the three types of volcanoes and what are the difference?
cinder strato and shield shield is the least dangerous and the lava slowly flowsa down cinder erupts tephra not lava like a shield and is cone shaped strato is the most dangerous it erupts both tephra and lava
What is the process to turn lava into rock?
When magma erupts from the volcano and starts to come down the sides, It slowly cools going down and turns into igneous rock.
Where is the giant 's causeway?
It is a volcanic structure in Ireland formed by slowly cooling magma in a volcanic pipe. There is a predominance of hexagonal jointing due to the slow cooling to make pillars of basalt. -firstmate-
What shape does sticky lava make?
The typical cone shape of a volcano happens when sticky lava erupts upward. Sticky lava creates a dome shape and the lava cools slowly.
What is Lava that flows slowly to form a glassy surface with rounded wrinkles called?
The lava is pahoehoe Lava.
What are the two main properties of igneous rock?
There are lots, but they get sorted into 2 categories, volcanic and plutonic. Volcanic are rocks that cooled on/near the surface (quickly), and plutons are rocks that cooled deep below the surface (slowly).
What is the the lava that flows slowly to form a glassy surface with rounded wrinkles?
Pahoehoe or pillow lava - same thing
What is the molten material which form igneous rocks called?
The molten material that forms igneous rocks is called magma when it is beneath the Earth's surface and lava once it erupts onto the surface. As magma cools and solidifies, it crystallizes to form igneous rocks. These rocks can be classified into two main types: intrusive (or plutonic), which form from magma that cools slowly underground, and extrusive (or volcanic), which form from lava that cools quickly on the surface.
