What forms as result of lava that has cooled at the top of a volcano?
When lava cools at the top of a volcano, it forms igneous rocks such as basalt or andesite. These rocks can sometimes create formations like lava domes or hardened lava flows.
Is the build up of hardened lava at openings in the Earth's crust from where magma is able to erupt?
volcano
Where is the potential and kinetic energy in a volcano?
Potential energy is found when the lava(magma) is hardened. Kinetic energy is found when the volcano is erupting.
What is wide gently sloping mountain made of hardened layers of low silica lava?
Shield volcano
Layers of lava emitted by the volcano?
The different layers of a volcano are made from the lava and ash produced by the volcano. Some volcanoes have different thicknesses of layers or only one type of layer depending on the kind of eruption and how much ash it produces.
Does hardened lava form a vent?
No, it forms a volcano.
How do geologists classify a volcano made of these materials?
Geologists classify volcanoes based on the type of material they are made of, such as lava flows, ash, and gases emitted. They also consider the shape and size of the volcano, as well as its eruptive history. These factors help categorize volcanoes into different types, such as shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes, and cinder cone volcanoes.

Potential energy is found when the lava(magma) is hardened. Kinetic energy is found when the volcano is erupting.
Where do lava tube caves form?
Lava tube caves form when low viscosity lava flows beneath the hardened surface of lava flow while the volcano is active. Then when the volcano is dormant or extinct, it leaves cave like channels.
Why don't erupted hardened lava cover up the holes of volcanoes?
Because the lava flows down the sides of the volcano before it hardens.

What are the physical features of a compostie volcano?
Tall cone shaped mountains that have alternate layers of hardened lava and ash.
What type of volcano irrupt quickly creating a whole made of many small pieces apart and lava?
What type of volcano irrupt quickly creating a hill made of many small pieces of hardened lava
