When lava cools and solidifies, it is called igneous rock. The specific type of igneous rock formed depends on the composition of the lava and the cooling process. For example, basalt is formed from rapidly cooled lava, while granite is formed from slowly cooled magma beneath the Earth's surface.

When lava gets cold it becomes?

When lava cools, it solidifies into rock, typically forming basalt or other igneous rock types depending on its composition. This process can create various geological features, such as lava plates, volcanic islands, or even extensive lava flows. The cooling rate and environmental conditions can influence the texture and appearance of the resulting rock.
