What is the change of state that occurs when fat from a roasting dish becomes hard?

The change of state that occurs when fat from a roasting dish becomes hard is called solidification. This happens when the fat cools down and transitions from a liquid state to a solid state, typically due to a drop in temperature.


What type of rock is formed from molten lava?

When molten magma cools and crystallizes, it becomes a hard rock called igneous rock. Different magmas have different compositions and so produce different igneous rocks. If the magma cools beneath the earth's surface, it cools slowly. Rocks formed like this are called intrusive rocks, and have large crystals, e.g. granite, gabbro, dolerite. If magma comes to the surface (in a volcanic eruption) it cools rapidly. Rocks formed like this are called extrusive rocks, and they have small crystals, e.g. basalt, obsidian, pumice. Igneous rocks have interlocking mineral crystals. The crystals are arranged randomly throughout the rock. Igneous rocks are mostly non-porous.


When magma crystallizes what is formed?

When magma crystallizes, igneous rocks are formed. The type of igneous rock that is formed depends on the chemical composition of the magma and the rate at which it cools.


What is molten liquefied rock called when it irrupts from the earth's interior from a volcano or fissure and cools into a porous black and hard material?

The molten liquefied rock is called lava when it erupts from a volcano or fissure and cools into a porous black and hard material known as basalt or igneous rock.

What is metamorphic rock formed from sandstone called?

Sandstone can be metamorphosed into quartzite. Heat and pressure bake the sandstone and it becomes extremely hard.


What type of rock is formed when lava flowing from a volcano cools and hardens?

Igneous rock, specifically extrusive or volcanic rock, is formed when lava cools and hardens. This type of rock typically has small crystals due to the rapid cooling process and examples include basalt and rhyolite.


How is a waterfall or gorge formed?

A gorge forms when the process of waterfall formation (when hard rock collapses into the plunge pool as there is no rock underneath to support it) then repeats itself. The waterfall retreats upstream, eventually causing a gorge to be formed. H.H.K. :)(:


How does lava make rocks?

When it cools down it turns hard and turns into rock


How do hamburgers become hard after frying?

They could be hard due to being overcooked and becoming too dry. They will also become hard as the fat cools and gels.


How is asbestos formed?

asbestos is formed over Millenia as part of the planets natural process, it is a formation of a number of chemicals forced through the earth through volcanic action. when cooled it forms into seams of fibrous asbestos in the fisures of rocks.


Can a A metamorphic rock become an extrusive igneous rock?

a metamorphic rock is formed when it is under great heat and pressure and after some time it forms magma. then the mama comes out through volcano and becomes hard , this rock that is formed is known as extrusive igneous rocks.
