Lava will cool to form extrusive igneous rock. The exact type would depend on the composition of the lava.
Granite bedrock is a type of bedrock composed mainly of quartz, feldspar, and mica minerals. It is a common type of igneous rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of magma deep within the Earth's crust. Granite bedrock is known for its durability and often used in construction due to its strength and resistance to weathering.
If an igneous rock is formed from slowly cooling magma under the ground, it has more time to form crystals and so the crystals it forms are much larger than igneous rock formed from more quickly cooling magma or lava.
The most common type of intrusive rock is granite. Granite forms from the slow cooling of magma deep underground, resulting in a coarse-grained texture with visible crystals of minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica. It is widely distributed on Earth's continental crust and often used in construction and sculpture due to its durability.
Obsidian
Extrusive igneous rock, such as basalt or rhyolite, forms from magma that cools and solidifies quickly on or near the Earth's surface. These rocks typically have fine-grained textures due to the rapid cooling process.
Sedimentary rock forms due to the accumulation and compression of sediments, while metamorphic rock forms due to the alteration of existing rock through heat and pressure. Igneous rock forms from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
Metamorphic
Rocks formed by the cooling and solidifying of molten materials.
The type of rock formed from lava cooling quickly is called basalt. Basalt is a fine-grained igneous rock that is commonly found in volcanic regions and has a dark color due to its rapid cooling process.
Sedimentary rock forms due to the weight of overlying sediments, which compress and cement together over time.
Contact metamorphic rock forms at such boundaries, as the minerals in the rock change due to the increase in temperature or the influx of heated fluids.

No, basalt is not a metamorphic rock. Basalt is an igneous rock that forms from cooling and solidification of lava. Metamorphic rocks are formed from the alteration of existing rocks due to high pressure, heat, or fluids.
Yes obsidian is glassy because it cooled very fast.
Pegmatite is an igneous rock that forms in the final stage of magma crystallization. It typically contains large crystals due to the slow cooling of the magma.
Igneous rock, specifically basalt, is formed when lava cools quickly. Basalt is characterized by its fine-grained texture due to rapid cooling at the Earth's surface.
If an igneous rock is formed from slowly cooling magma under the ground, it has more time to form crystals and so the crystals it forms are much larger than igneous rock formed from more quickly cooling magma or lava.
