What are rocks that form when lava hardens?
Igneous, examples include Granite and Basalt
What volcanoes form extensive fluid lava flow that erupts numerous times?
Shield volcanoes form extensive fluid lava flow that erupts numerous times.
When lava hardens it forms new rock?
Indeed it does! Depending on how fast the lava crystalizes a different rock will be formed. Rocks that form from within the earth (like through a volcanic eruption, lava flow, magma intrusion, ect) are known as igneous rocks. Igneous rocks include granite, basalt, obsidian, andesite, among others. Basalt and obsidian are arguably the most well known rocks formed from a lava flow.
What happens to granite if it is melted?
"lava"
What is an area covered by lava as it pours from a vent?
An area covered by lava as it pours from a vent is a lava flow.

Why would granite have larger crystals than igneous rocks formed from lava cooled above the earth's surface?
Because crystals in granite had more time to form
What type of rocks form from melting and cooling?
These are igneous rocks. They may form from lava at the Earth's surface, like basalt, or from magma beneath the ground, like granite.
What happens to granite if it is melted?
"lava"
What is an area covered by lava as it pours from a vent?
An area covered by lava as it pours from a vent is a lava flow.
Which rock takes a longer time to form rhyolite or granite?
Granite takes longer to form than rhyolite. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock formed from the slow cooling of magma deep within the Earth's crust, which can take millions of years. Rhyolite, on the other hand, is an extrusive igneous rock formed from the rapid cooling of lava at the surface, which occurs more quickly than the formation of granite.
Why would granite rock have larger crystals than igneous rocks formed from lava cooled above the earth's surface?
Because crystals in granite had more time to form
What is the density independent of lava flow?
the lava flow is a density independent that flow good from the chemicals lava it have to flow and it is independent
Is lava butte basaltic or granitic lava flow?
A lava butte is generally basaltic lava. Granitic lava flows (called rhyolitic when they form at the surface) are rare and do not cover much ground.
Is there a difference between lava and lava flow?
Yes, there is a difference between lava and lava flow. Lava is the molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while lava flow refers to the movement of lava as it travels down a volcano or hillside. Lava flow is the result of the eruption of molten rock, which can vary in speed and direction.
