What else can I help you with?
When lava cools does it become sedimentary rock?
No. It becomes igneous rock.
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".
Does hot lava become rock or soil?
It cools to form igneous rock, which over time may be eroded down to become a component of the soil. The larger contributor to rich soil around volcanoes is the ash which settles after an eruption.
What causes lava to harden into rock?
It can become many different rocks and minerals depending on how fast it cools. The faster it cools; the harder and darker-colored the rock will be. The slower it cools the more soft and light-colored the rock will be.
What does a rock become when it melts?
Lava.
How can lava flow from a volcano and become part of the rock cycle and eventually become a flow of lava again?
The lava is melted rock called magma when it is underground, then it is exposed and is then called lava. The volcano erupts, and it hardens into igneous rock. If the igneous rock heats up again, it is lava once more!
How does lava become an igneous rock?
lava becomes igneous rock by cooling down and hardening -ctd
When a rock melts what substance does it become?
Lava.
When lava cools does it become sedimentary rock?
No. It becomes igneous rock.
What does hardened lava become?
Extrusive igneous rock.
Does a igneous rock forms from lava?
Yes, an igneous rock forms when lava is cooled. It is called an extrusive igneous rock (because lava is extruded onto the surface of the earth). A magma pool that did not erupt as lava can cool to become an intrusive rock.
How does lava flow become rock and then become a lava flow again?
It cools then it heats back up! Lava is molten rock (rock that is a fluid due to high temperatures). When lava cools, it becomes rock once again. Due to tectonic activity from the Earth's crust, rock can be shoved down into the mantle, which is extremely hot, which melts the rock once more. The whole process is analogous to water freezing to become ice, and then melting to become water once more.
Why are fossils found mostly in a sedimentary rock?
Because when the lava killed the animals, their remains stayed in the lava and dried to become sedimentary rock.
When does magma (molten rock) become lava?
When it is extruded onto the surface.
What type of change happens when lava cools to rock?
lava cooling to become rock is a change of state from liquid to solid
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.
