Lava IS molten rock therefore your question is meaningless.

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.


Is lava rock safe for fish?

Lava rock is generally safe for fish as it is inert and will not significantly alter water parameters. However, it is important to ensure that the rock is thoroughly cleaned before adding it to an aquarium to remove any dust or debris that could harm the fish. It is also recommended to test the rock with a weak acid (such as vinegar) to check for any carbonate content that may affect the water chemistry.


How does metamorphic rock turn into another type of rock?

Metamorphic rock can turn into another type of rock through processes like weathering and erosion, which break down the rock into sediment. This sediment can then undergo compaction and cementation to form sedimentary rock, or melt and cool to form igneous rock through processes like metamorphism.


What is conserved when metamorphic rock melts and turn into lava?

When metamorphic rock melts and turns into lava, the chemical composition of the rock is conserved. This means that the elements present in the original rock remain the same in the lava. However, the physical characteristics, such as texture and crystal structure, may change during the melting process. Overall, the conservation of chemical elements is a fundamental principle in geology known as the law of conservation of matter.


What happens when rock and water under the crust become very hot?

When rock and water under the crust become very hot, the water can turn into steam, creating pressure. This can lead to volcanic activity, such as eruptions and geysers. The heat may also cause the rock to melt and form magma, which can rise to the surface and create volcanic eruptions.

What does metamophic rock turn into before it turns into igneous rock?

melt (magma or lava)


How does sedimentary rock turn to lava?

Sedimentary rock does not directly turn into lava. Instead, when sedimentary rock is subjected to extreme heat and pressure, it can undergo metamorphism, potentially transforming into metamorphic rock. If this metamorphic rock is further subjected to even higher temperatures, it can melt and become magma. When magma erupts to the surface, it is called lava.


What does an igneous rock turn into?

There is no specific anser for that but it can melt and turn into magma again or have heat and pressure to turn into metamorphic rock or it can have been weathered and erosioned on to turn into Sediments see no specific answer


Can a volcano be red?

yes. lava is red. and if lava heats up the rock alot without melting, the rock will turn bright red but will not be visible from the outside because the extreme heat will melt the rock slowly from the inside


How Does heat turn into lava?

The rocks in the center of the Earth are under so much pressure that the heat makes the rocks melt. The melted rock is magma, or lava once it has got out of the ground.


How does a rock turn into lava?

The rock becomes too hot that it must turn into liquid form (lava). This would usually mean that the rock had to have come into contact with lava first.


What type of rock does rock turn into when it erupts?

lava


How do magma turn into extrusive igneous rock?

Lava can turn into igneous rock in 2 ways. When the lava cools to a hardening point inside the volcano it is called intrusive igneous rock. When lava cools outside of the volcano it is called extrusive igneous rock.


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.


What is the only type of rock that magma or lava can turn in to?

igneous


Metamorphic rock melts and turn into lava what is conserved?

matter


How is the expansion of rock important in the for formation of lava?

Because when lava cools out it will turn into rock and some roks have small animal fossils in them too.
