Anything that is warmer than its surroundings will transfer heat to them and cool down in the process. Lava from a volcano transfers heat to the air, which then carries it away. Underground magma transfers heat to the surrounding rock. Since rock is a poor conductor of heat the magma will cool much more slowly than if it were at the surface.
What else can I help you with?
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
Lava flowing from a volcano in Hawaii is basaltic magma?
Lava is erupting in Hawaii as we breathe that is turning into basalt rock.
What are things that are ejected from a volcano.?
The matter thrown out of a volcano while it is erupting is called lava, and it consists of melted rock matter. Before erupting, the lava moves underground towards the opening of the volcano. When it is underground like this, it is called magma.
What is a geologic situation in which a magma does not form a lava?
Lava is simply magma that reaches the surface of the earth. If a magma flow never is emergent while it is still in liquid form, it cannot be termed lava. An example is a volcanic stock or a laccolith that remains beneath the surface entirely.
Why is lava and magma not a rock?
Lava and magma are not rocks because they are liquids and cant harden because they are to hot to harden and cant cool themselves down long enough to form a hard structure. Magma and lava is rock - it's just been superheated by the Earth's core.
What is going on in the volcano while the volcano is erupting?
magma and lava are fighting their way out
Are magma and lava sedimentary rocks?
No. Magma and lava are molten rock. When the cool they form igneous rock.
When im hot liquid when im cool im a solid you can make mountains and destroy towns you spend most of your time underground what are you?
You are lava. When hot, lava flows as liquid, but when cool, it solidifies into rock. Lava is responsible for creating mountains through volcanic eruptions and can also destroy towns during volcanic events. The majority of lava's existence is spent underground in magma chambers before erupting onto the Earth's surface.
Lava flowing from a volcano in Hawaii is basaltic magma?
Lava is erupting in Hawaii as we breathe that is turning into basalt rock.
What rocks cool from magma or lava?
magma cools into intrusive igneous rock while lava into extrusive igneous rock
What does magma need to do for a rock to form?
Magma needs to cool and solidify to form a rock. This process can happen underground, resulting in intrusive rocks, or at the surface, leading to extrusive rocks. The rate of cooling and the mineral composition of the magma will determine the type of rock that forms.
How do igneous rocks form?
Igneous rock forms from the cooling of molten material called magma or lava.

What do you call molten or melted rocks?
Molten rock is also known as lava. Lava is produced by a volcano that is erupting. Lava temperatures range from 1,292 to 2,192 degrees Fahrenheit.
Is lava magma when it cools down?
No. Lava is magma that has reached the surface.
