This is what I read from another question, answered by ID0410848064:
When hot lava meets the cooler temperatures of the ocean, an instantaneous cooling reaction takes place within the hot lava causing the minerals to form and crystallize quickly, usually of a different chemical and molecular composition if it were allowed to cool gradually at the earth's surface. Also, the hot lava may take on saline water from the ocean, therefore altering the overall mineral composition.
Hope this helped :)

How long does the lava stay hot for?
It usually depends on how hot the lava and how cold the water is. I think it can take around half a minute for the lava to cool off when its in cold water and that's all i can think of.
When pillow lava touch ocean water how hot do the ocean water turn?
When pillow lava touches ocean water, the temperature of the water can increase significantly, sometimes reaching temperatures above 500 degrees Celsius. This can create steam and explosive reactions as the lava rapidly cools in the water.
When lava meets a glacier the frozen water instantly boils into what?
Ice is transformed in liquid water and vapors.
What happens to lava when it enters the ocean?
On contact with water lava will cool rapidly to form rock.
Can lava boil the ocean?
Not the whole ocean of course, it is much too large. However at the point where lava enters the ocean some water will definitely boil off.
Is there ocean life where lava meets ocean?
Yes, there are actually thriving communities of organisms that thrive in those specific areas. They eat the chemicals that are released from the inside of the Earth.
