How do minerals form from magma and lava?
well lava and magma are pretty much the same thing but the way minerals form from lava and magma is that when a volcano erupts the magma turns to lava and lava is just magma that cool-es faster because it is on the surface. anyway the way that minerals form is when the lava and minerals already form come together they form new minerals
What is the magma type for a lava dome?
Lava domes usually form with very viscous rhyolitic or dacitic magma.
How are rocks that form from magma and lava different?
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.
Melted rock below earths surface?
Magma is the geological term for melted or molten rock below the earth's surface. Once the magma has reached the surface it is called lava.
What does magma need to do for a rock to form?
Magma is basicaly the same as lava, except magma is still in the volcano, when magma has come out of the volcano, it has become lava.

An extremely natural geological event.
What is the earth magma?
it's lava but in it's liquid form. A common misconception between magma and lava is lava is solid and magma is liquid hot.
What does volocanology mean?
Volocanology is the study of volcanoes, lava, magma, and related geological and geophysical phenomena.
What is the difference between mega and lava?
Magma is constrained within the volcano. It may be exposed as a 'lava lake' but it in its molten state is magma. Lava is an exudate from a volcano. My geological dictionary does not strongly constrain the terms.
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
What is the magma type for a lava dome?
Lava domes usually form with very viscous rhyolitic or dacitic magma.
What large group of rocks which form from magma of lava?
another name for the mineral crystals in cooling magma or lava
What is the form of magma when it thrown out from the volcano?
Lava.
