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.

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.
Why does lava turn in to a rock?
Lava is made of the same chemical components that are found in many rock types (mostly silica and various metal oxides), only it is in a superheated, molten form. When the lava cools, the chemical components form the appropriate rock.
Does lava turn to magma or magma turns to llava?
magma turns into lava.
Is lava NOT considered to be a rock?
Lava is a molten rock from a volcano, and is rock.
What is a slab of volcanic rock called?
A slab of volcanic rock is called a "lava flow" or a "lava rock".
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 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
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
What does metamophic rock turn into before it turns into igneous rock?
melt (magma or lava)
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.
How does sedimentary rock turn to lava?

What makes lava turn into rock and how?
Lava becomes rock by cooling, which causes it to solidify. The lava is basically freezing, much like water freezing into ice, only at a much higher temperature.
Why does lava turn in to a rock?
Lava is made of the same chemical components that are found in many rock types (mostly silica and various metal oxides), only it is in a superheated, molten form. When the lava cools, the chemical components form the appropriate rock.
When lava reaches the ocean does it become a rock?
Yes, the heat of the lava may well turn some of the water into steam, but the sea will cool & solidify the lava.
