When lava cools and solidifies, it is referred to as igneous rock. This process occurs as the molten rock loses heat and transitions from a liquid state to a solid state. Depending on the cooling rate and mineral composition, it can form various types of igneous rocks, such as basalt or granite.
Rocks that are produced when magma or lava cools and hardens are called Igneous rocks.
Rocks that are produced when magma or lava cools and hardens are called Igneous rocks.
No, magma is located in the volcano when it comes out it is called lava. Lava cools after it comes out. Magma is still heated as the volcano is.
The smooth and shiny lava is called pahoehoe.
when the hot lava cools deep inside the earth, it is called intrusive igneous rocks. when the hot lava cools on the surface of the earth, it is called extrusive igneous rocks.

Most lava forms a rock called basalt when it cools.
when the hot lava cools deep inside the earth, it is called intrusive igneous rocks. when the hot lava cools on the surface of the earth, it is called extrusive igneous rocks.
Lava can turn into igneous rock in 2 ways. When the lava cools to a hardening point inside the volcano it is called intrusive igneous rock. When lava cools outside of the volcano it is called extrusive igneous rock.
Extrusive igneous rock is formed from the crystallization of minerals as the lava cools.
Lava cools quickly and forms rocks with small crystals. They are called extrusive igneous rocks.
As lava cools and solidifies, it transforms into igneous rock.
When lava cools down quickly at the surface of the Earth, it forms an igneous rock called basalt. Basalt is dark in color, fine-grained, and contains minerals such as olivine and pyroxene.
Lava cools through a process called solidification, where it loses heat to the surrounding environment. Water or air can help cool lava more quickly, causing it to solidify faster, while the composition of the lava itself also plays a role in how quickly it cools.
