What type of rock is formed as a result of lava cooling quickly?
extrusive igneous rock (study island)
Which rock most probably formed directly from lava cooling quickly at earths surface?
Igneous.
What is formed by magma cooling?
Intrusive igneous rock is formed when magma or lava cools quickly.
How would a rock that formed from lava cooling on the Earth's surface compare with a rock that formed from magma cooling deep in the Earth's crust?
The rock that formed from lava would have smaller crystals than the rock that formed from magma.
Is lava cooling one of the ways sedimentary rock is formed?
No that is how igneous rocks are formed
What type of rock is formed as a result of lava cooling quickly?

Which rock most probably formed directly from lava cooling quickly at earths surface?
Igneous.
Does Rhyolite cool quickly or slowly?
Rhyolite is an igneous rock that has formed from rapidly cooling lava or ash.
What type of rock froms when lava cools very quickly?
Volcanic rocks like obsidian is formed when lava undergoes very rapid cooling.
What does quick cooling of ejected lava result in?
Quick cooling lava will result in extrusive igneous rock, a type of rock classification based on its small crystals being formed from lack of time for growth during solidification.
What is formed by magma cooling?
Intrusive igneous rock is formed when magma or lava cools quickly.
What rocks are formed after lava dries out?
Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
A rock that forms from cooling lava that is classified as what?
The rocks that are formed from cooling of lava are known as Igneous rocks.
How are obsidian and pumice formed?
Pumice is formed by the rapid cooling of gas entrained (frothy) felsic lava which is erupted from volcanoes. If the amount of trapped gases in the lava is high, and cooled quickly enough to trap the bubbles of gas before they can escape, vesicular pumice will be formed, resulting in the only igneous rock that is able to float in water. Obsidian is formed from the extreme rapid cooling of lava.
Why does obsidian have a glassy texture?
Obsidian has a glossy texture is because of how it is formed. When it solidifies, it does not crystallize due to the lava cooling too quickly.
What is a rock formed y molten material cooling?
Igneous rocks are formed by lava or magma cooling
Does igneous basalt form partly as the result of surface processes?
Yes. In that basalt is formed from rapid cooling of lava at or near the surface.
