It depends upon the material. Some material (such as most metals) has a distinct freezing point, a temperature where it changes directly from a liquid to a solid. Other material (such as glass) has no distinct temperature at which it will solidify. As it cools, it keeps getting less and less fluid, but never freezes. If its temperature is low enough, it will arrive at a state which is for all practical purposes a solid.

Lava is the heated material that is spewed from the mouth of a volcano. When the lava cools it is transformed into an ingenious rock substance.

What forms when molten material from beneath earth's surface cools but doesn't hardens?

Ingenious rocks form when molten material under the earths surface cools. Not only does the molten cool it does not harden.


What happens to the rocks along the ridge when new molten material erupts?

The molten material then spreads out, pushing the older rock to both sides of the ridge. As the molten material cools, it forms a strip of solid rock in the center of the ridge. Then more molten material flows into the crack. The material splits apart the strip of solid rock that formed before, pushing it aside.

How do small crystals form?

Answer: Crystals usually form from molten rock as the molten rock gradually cools. If the molten rock cools very rapidly, then either small crystals form or no crystals form. An example of this is when lava is ejected from a volcano. If molten rock cools slowly, then large crystals can form. This happens usually when the molten material is very deep in the Earth. Examples of these types of crystals are diamonds, emeralds, rubies, etc.


What happens right after lava cools?

The molten lava solidifies into solid rock on cooling.


What happens when molten lava flows on the surface of earth?

It cools and forms new land.


How does crystallization form?

crystals form from molten rock as the molten rock cools. if the molten rock cools very fast then you may have small crystals growing or no crystals at all. if the molten rockk colls slowly then you then you have large crystals growing. this happens when the molten material is deep in the earth. examples of these types of crystals are Rubies, Emeralds, and Diamonds. crystals may also form when water is evaporated. salt crystals are an example as they form when salt water evaporates.

How can you tell obsidian is an igneous rock?

Obsidian is a form of glass. Glass can only form when material cools from a molten state.
