They are different because lava is when it hits earth's atmosphere; magma turns to lava. Magma is when its inside the volcano. They are different because of the color: darker/blacker and magma rocks are way hotter. Lava rocks are colder and fragile.
Igneous rocks form as a result of cooling magma. As the magma cools and solidifies, it forms rocks such as granite, basalt, and obsidian. The size of the mineral crystals in the rock is determined by the rate of cooling.
These are igneous rocks. They may form from lava at the Earth's surface, like basalt, or from magma beneath the ground, like granite.
When magma rises, it can solidify to form igneous rocks like granite or basalt. If the magma reaches the Earth's surface, it can erupt as lava and form volcanic landforms such as volcanoes or volcanic islands.
The difference between the two lies in the mineral crystal size. Rocks that form from lava on the surface will cool quickly, with little time for crystal formation. Rocks that form from magma below the surface will cool slowly, resulting in larger mineral crystals. Chemically, they could be identical.
Igneous rock is formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while lava is molten rock that reaches the Earth's surface. Igneous rocks can form in a variety of settings, including beneath the Earth's surface (intrusive) and on the Earth's surface (extrusive).
Magma or Lava
Igneous rocks.
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
They form when magma or lava cools and solidifies.
another name for the mineral crystals in cooling magma or lava
Magma or Lava
Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material called magma or lava.
Lava is magma that has reached the surface of the earth in an eruption. When this cools down, it will form igneous rocks.
Igneous rock.
Rocks made from lava or magma are classified as igneous rocks. Igneous rocks form when molten rock cools and solidifies, either on the Earth's surface (extrusive) as lava or below the surface (intrusive) as magma. Examples of igneous rocks include basalt, granite, and obsidian.
Igneous rock is formed from magma or lava that has cooled and solidified.
