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.
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.
rock is melted to form molten rock, then as the lava hardens, it forms any type of igneous rock
Lava cools as anything else does; it loses heat to cooler surroundings. As it cools its atoms and ions slow down and are eventually locked in place by bonds with neighboring atoms an ions. The lava is essentially freezing.
Both pillow lava and pahoehoe lava are types of basaltic lava that form during submarine volcanic eruptions. They both have smooth, ropy surfaces, caused by the flow of lava, and are relatively low in viscosity.
Silica content of lava, as well as the temperature of the lava.
Igneous Rock.
it turs to rock
Lava rock is formed when molten lava from a volcano cools and solidifies on the Earth's surface. This process involves the lava cooling rapidly, either in the air or in water, which causes it to harden into a rock-like structure. Over time, the lava rock can weather and erode, eventually breaking down into smaller pieces.
It hardens and turns it to rock.
Igneous rocks.
Igneous rock forms after magma or lava cools and hardens. Examples include basalt, granite, and obsidian.

Volcanic activity in which lava and magma cool and harden into rock and stone.
Marble is a metamorphic rock so it was formed by heat and pressure. :)

Melting causes an igneous rock to form into lava/magma.
