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.

How is lava rock formed and what is the process behind its creation?

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.

How does hot lava cool and harden?

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.
