Does lava turn into a rock when it cools?
Yes, when lava cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rock. The type of rock that forms depends on the chemical composition of the lava and the rate at which it cools.
From what material does an extrusive rock form?
Extrusive rocks form from lava that cools and solidifies quickly on the Earth's surface, such as basalt or rhyolite.
Does lava turn into a gas?
Lava does not turn directly into a gas. When lava cools and solidifies it can form rocks like basalt or obsidian. However, if the lava contains volatile gases, these can be released as the lava erupts and cools, creating gas emissions.
What is formed by magma cooling?
When magma cools and solidifies underground, igneous rocks like granite and gabbro are formed. If the magma cools and solidifies on the Earth's surface, volcanic rocks like basalt and andesite are produced.
How does lava dry?
Magma does not dry. Drying implies that the magma becomes solid by loss of water. In reality it becomes solid due to a drop in temperature. So, in reality it freezes. When magma solidifies it becomes intrusive igneous rock.
What happened to lava when it cools?
Extrusive igneous rock is formed from the crystallization of minerals as the lava cools.
When magma cools and solidifies it becomes?
lava rock
When or igneous rocks formed?
When lava cools and solidifies.
What happens right after lava cools?
The molten lava solidifies into solid rock on cooling.
Does lava turn into a rock when it cools?
Yes, when lava cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rock. The type of rock that forms depends on the chemical composition of the lava and the rate at which it cools.
How do igenous rocks form?
They form when magma or lava cools and solidifies.
How does molten lava change into a solid?
Molten lava cools down and solidifies into solid rock through a process called solidification. As the lava loses heat, the atoms and molecules within it slow down and come together to form a crystalline structure, which results in the formation of solid rock.
Is lava magma when it cools down?
No. Lava is magma that has reached the surface.
What is after lava but before boulder?
After lava cools down and solidifies, it forms rocks. These rocks can then weather and erode into small fragments called boulders.
Can lava evaporate into the atmosphere?
No, lava cannot evaporate into the atmosphere. Lava is molten rock that cools and solidifies upon exposure to the air, rather than evaporating like water.
How does volcanic rock form?
Volcanic rock forms by lava that has come from a volcano, cools and solidifies to form the rock.
Why does lava cools rapidly along a mid ocean ridge?
Lava flows from the rifts and is cooled quickly by sea water
