What is granite a gas solid or liquid?
Granite is a type of igneous rock. At room temperature it would be a solid. The term igneous refers to rocks that have cooled and solidified from lava or magma. At one point the molecules that formed the granite were in a liquid state and given a hot enough temperature could form a gas.
Which igneous rock is cooled the slowest Gabro or Granite?
The type of igneous rock formed depends more on the composition of the magma or lava that formed it than it does on the speed at which it cooled (notable exceptions include obsidian, which is flash cooled). To determine which cooled faster look at the coarseness of the rock. Large crystalline particles are formed by slower cooling liquid since the molecules had more time to arrange into crystals. That being said, Granite is more likely than Gabbro to have cooled away from water and therefore slower.
What is rock formed from cooled magma or lava?
Rock formed from cooled magma or lava is called igneous rock. This type of rock forms when molten material from beneath the Earth's surface cools and solidifies, either underground (intrusive) or on the Earth's surface (extrusive). Examples include basalt, granite, and obsidian.
Is Scoria rock igneous?
Yes,Scoria (a type of Basalt) Basalt is a dark-colored rock that formed as lava cooled and hardened. Scoria is a type of basalt that's full of bubble holes. The bubbles formed as the lava was blasted out of a volcano, and were trapped as the lava cooled and hardened.
Is cooled lava considered a rock?
Yes. Cooled lava is extrusive igneous rock.
What Igneous rock are made out of what?
Granite tables in the kitchen.
Which type of rock is formed when hot lava cools?
Hot lava, when cooled and solidified, forms igneous rocks. Examples include basalt, granite, and obsidian.
What is the most common type of rock in the earth?
Continental crust--granite. Oceanic crust--basalt.
Why would granite have larger crystals than rocks formed from lava cooled above earth surface?
Because crystals in granite had more time to form as the magma cooled slowly. Crystals that form on the surface are smaller because they cooled really quickly.
Why would granite have larger crystals than igneous rocks formed from lava cooled above the earth's surface?
Because crystals in granite had more time to form
Why would granite rock have larger crystals than igneous rocks formed from lava cooled above the earth's surface?
Because crystals in granite had more time to form
What type of rock is formed after magma or lava is cooled?
pumice
How are granite and obsidian are different?
Granite is a rock, whereas obsidian is a type of glass formed by cooling lava.

Is metamorphic rock a cooled lava?
No. Cooled lava would be igneous.
