No. Magma is not pyroclastic, and most rock isn't either. Pyroclastic material is ash and rock fragments ejected during explosive volcanic eruptions. Magma is molten rock beneath the earth's surface.

Are magma and rock both pyroclastic materials?

No. Magma is molten rock that is beneath earth's surface. When it erupts it can form lava or pyroclastic material. Although pyroclastic material can form rocks, most rocks are not from pyroclastic material.


What igneous rock is formed from magma or lava cools and hardens?

Cooled magma, lava, or pyroclastic material is igneous rock. Cooled magma forms intrusive igneous rock, while lava and pyroclastic material form extrusive rock. Anything beyond that depends on more specific factors.


Is a material magma?

No. Magma is molten rock that has not erupted. After it erupts it may or may not form pyroclastic material depending on how explosive the eruption is.


How does an Igneous rock turn into Magma?

No. If it cools as magma it will form an intrusive igneous rock. To form an extrusive igenous rock it must erupt from a volcano, where it becomes lava or pyroclastic material.


What is magma and fragments of rock that are ejected into the atmosphere during a violent volcanic eruption?

Pyroclastic Material; I got all the other matching questions and it was the only one left so therefore it is right.


How are lava and magma the same?

Lava and magma are both molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. The main difference is that magma is molten rock below the surface, while lava is molten rock that has reached the surface through volcanic eruption.


Why is igneous rock found on a volcanic island?

Igneous rock is rock that formed from molten material. Volcanoes erupt lava and pyroclastic material, which forms extrusive igneous rock. Magma can solidify with in a volcano, forming intrusive igneous rock.


What do we call magma that has hardened in a volcanoes pipe?

When magma has solidified in a volcanoes vent it is known as a volcanic plug. In some cases when there is a plug present in a stratovolcano, it can lead to very large explosive eruptions as pressure builds within the volcano.


What are thepulverized rock lava ash and other fragments ejected from the vent of a volcano called?

These materials are called pyroclastic materials. They are produced during explosive volcanic eruptions when magma is fragmented into rock fragments and ash by the force of the explosion. Pyroclastic materials can vary in size from tiny particles of ash to large blocks and boulders.


Is a rock a pyroclastic material?

Some rocks are pyroclastic but most are not.


How are lava and pyroclastic classified?

Both lava and pyroclastic material are classified as rocks. Lava is molten rock and pyroclastic material is various debris. There is Basaltic lava, Andesitic lava, Dacite lava, and Rhyolitic lava.


What is a dense cloud of super hot gasses and rock fragments that races downhill from an erupting volcano called?

A pyroclastic flow. It is a fast-moving avalanche of hot volcanic ash, rock fragments, and gases that can reach speeds up to hundreds of kilometers per hour, incinerating and destroying everything in its path.
