Sedimentary.
When does magma become lava?
It should be magma is the hottest because it is usually molten rock that has not reached the surface during an eruption.Lava is 2nd hottest. It is the molten rock we see when a crack in the crust of the earth or a volcano eruption allows molten rock from beneath the crust to come up.
What is the most common type of rock on earth's surface?

Are you more likely to see sedimentary rocks on the surface or deep in earth's crust?
Of all the rock on Earth's surface, 75% is sedimentary rock. But, sedimentary rock is only about 5% of the whole crust. Unlike igneous rock, which forms underground, sedimentary rock forms from materials at Earth's surface. Which this means that sedimentary rocks are more likely to be seen on the surface. Hope this helps :)
What percent of the earth's crust is sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock; this is because the earth is constantly going through the rock cycle and both igneous rock and metamorphic rock have a lot to deal with under the earths surface and sedimentary rocks doesn't it just builds and builds over time which creates 75% of rock the covers the earth surface.
