Why would lava cool more quickly then lava?
Magma is molten rock that is below ground level so it probably wouldn't be exposed to the open air.
Do rocks that cool slowly from magma contain more crystals?
No. They would contain fewer, but larger mineral crystals when compared to igneous rocks which have cooled quickly from lava or magma.
Does lava cool slowly or quickly?
Magma that cools quickly forms into igneous rock, when it cools quickly it becomes a lava rock. Lava cools very quickly at first and forms a thin crust that insulates the interior of the lava flow.
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
Lava and what can cool to become igneous rocks?
magma

Would lava cool quicker than magma?
yes because lava is exposed to the surface while magma is below Earth's suface which would be hotter than the suface

Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?

What does Lava on the surface of the earth do quickly?
