What else can I help you with?
Rock formed in volcanoes?
Igneous rock is a result of cooled lava or magma.
Is all igneous rock formed from lava that cooled on Earths surface?
No, not all igneous rock is formed from lava that cooled on Earth's surface. Some igneous rocks are formed from magma that cooled below the surface, and these are called intrusive igneous rocks. These rocks cool more slowly than lava, allowing for larger mineral crystals to form.
Can sizes of crystals in sedimentary rock tell us how quickly the lava or magma cooled that formed the rock?
Yes it can.
Rocks that are melted by heat and then cooled are called what?
Igneous rock is formed from magma or lava that has cooled and solidified.
Is granite a type of cooled lava?
Granite is formed from molten rock that has cooled. Since it forms underground, however, the molten rock that it forms from is called magma rather than lava.
A rock made from cooled magma or lava?
Igneous rock is formed from solidified and cooled magma or lava.
What type of rock is formed after magma or lava is cooled?
pumice
Rock formed in volcanoes?
Igneous rock is a result of cooled lava or magma.
What is formed by cooled magma cooling?
it is lava and when lava cools it forms igneous rock
Type of rocked formed when lave or magma cools?
A rock that is formed when magma cools is called a igneous rock.
What igneous rock is formed from magma or lava cools and hardens?
Cooled magma, lava, or pyroclastic material is igneous rock. Cooled magma forms intrusive igneous rock, while lava and pyroclastic material form extrusive rock. Anything beyond that depends on more specific factors.

How is lava called when gets cold?
When lava cools and solidifies, it is called igneous rock. The specific type of igneous rock formed depends on the composition of the lava and the cooling process. For example, basalt is formed from rapidly cooled lava, while granite is formed from slowly cooled magma beneath the Earth's surface.
How are volcanic rocks produced?
A volcano is formed when the molten magma (lava) beneath the crust is forced to the surface. Volcanic rock is lava that has cooled.
