What is the difference between the particles in hardened lava than in liquid lava?
Liquid lava is of 4 types; felsic, intermediaire, mafic and ultramafic. Depending on its composition; it will harden differently. Felsic is high in viscosity thanks to silica, aluminium, potassium, sodium and calcium. Intermediaire is richer in magnesium and iron, thus less viscous. Mafic (or basaltic) is high on iron and magnesium (ferromagnesian), therefore it's thicker. Ultramafic (or ultrabasic) is highly magnesian that makes it low in viscosity but highly mobile, and also when becoming a hardened rock will make an excellent insulator. Liquid lava's mineral composition slighly changes as it hardened, and will keep doing so long time after it is already hardened as the rocks come in contact with other rocks, the mineral composition will keep evolving by losing or gaining other minerals.
How hot is hardened lava?
Hardened lava typically ranges from about 600 to 1200 degrees Celsius (1100 to 2200 degrees Fahrenheit), depending on the type of lava and cooling conditions.
Which rocks are formed from hardened lava that flowed from volcanones?
Igneous rocks
What d oyou call hardend lava?
Well, Lava is liquid rock. So therefore hardened lava must be rock; igneous rock to be specific.
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.
What is the hardened layer of lava called?
The hardened layer of lava is called "igneous rock".
What are the cycles of lava?
The cycles are molten rock, lava, and then hardened lava like obsidian.

What forms from hardened lava?

How hot is hardened lava?

Compared to the particles in a hardened lava sample the particles in a liquid lava sample?
The particles in a hardened lava sample will be solidified and compacted, while the particles in a liquid lava sample will be molten and in a flowing state. The hardened lava particles will have a crystalline structure, whereas the liquid lava particles will lack a fixed arrangement due to their high temperature.
Does hardened lava form a vent?
No, it forms a volcano.
What does hardened lava become?
Extrusive igneous rock.
What is a hardened layer of magma called?
A hardened layer of magma is called a lava flow or volcanic rock.
Which rocks are formed from hardened lava that flowed from volcanones?
Igneous rocks
What is hardened lava called?
Hardened lava is called igneous rock. When lava cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rock through the process of crystallization. This rock can have different textures and compositions depending on the speed of cooling and the mineral content of the original lava. Examples of igneous rocks formed from lava include basalt, andesite, and rhyolite.
What minerals make up volcanic glass?
No minerals make up true volcanic glass, as the crystalline structure of minerals did not have time to form before the lava hardened. A mineral must have a crystalline structure.
