When a molten substance cools and solidifies, its particles slow down and come together to form a solid structure with a fixed shape and volume. This process involves the removal of heat energy, leading to the formation of a regular and ordered arrangement of atoms or molecules in the solid state.
The molten lava solidifies into solid rock on cooling.
When a magma chamber cools and becomes solid, it forms igneous rock. This process is known as crystallization, where the molten rock cools and solidifies, resulting in the formation of minerals within the rock. Over time, further geological processes may lead to the exposure of this igneous rock at the Earth's surface.
Solidification can occur when molten rock cools, or when sediments undergo lithification.
Molten lava cools down and solidifies into solid rock through a process called solidification. As the lava loses heat, the atoms and molecules within it slow down and come together to form a crystalline structure, which results in the formation of solid rock.
Molten glass is glass that is heated to a high temperature until it becomes a liquid. This allows the glass to be shaped or molded into various objects or forms before it cools and hardens back into a solid state. Molten glass is commonly used in glassblowing and glassmaking processes.

It turns to a solid when it cools down
The same way any solid forms from a liquid - the liquid magma cools off and becomes solid. This usually happens when the magma comes to the cooler surface of the earth as lava, but it can occur very slowly inside of the earth as the magma gradually cools.

The molten material then spreads out, pushing the older rock to both sides of the ridge. As the molten material cools, it forms a strip of solid rock in the center of the ridge. Then more molten material flows into the crack. The material splits apart the strip of solid rock that formed before, pushing it aside.
Energy is released.
A liquid becomes a solid when heat is removed. The energy content decreases, and the speed of the particles decrease.
